The Super Eagles has arrived in Libya, but they’ve accused the Libyans Authorities of deliberately frustrating the team.
Departing Uyo on Sunday, the Super Eagles were due to arrive Benghazi where they’ll play their second leg Africa Cup of Nations match against Libya.
However, an official report from the Super Eagles media officer alleged sabotage, and accused Libyan law enforcement of holding the Nigerian contingent “hostage”.
“Libyan authorities hold Super Eagles, officials hostage at the Al Abaq airport in Al Abaq,” the statement read in part.
“About an hour to landing, the Nigerian aircraft approaching its destination, Benghazi was diverted to another city more than two hour drive from the original destination.”[sic]
A video of the players and team officials, who appear stranded inside the airport accompany the report.
Officials of the Libyan law enforcement were seen chatting away as they formed a human barricade by the gate.
Meanwhile, the Libya Football Federation had made almost similar claims of intentional disruption against the Nigeria Football Federation.
The claims include poor preparation for the arrival of their National team for the first leg, allegations which the NFF unequivocally denied.
