Ex Libya Star Accuses European Media Of Taking Side Amid Super Eagles Maltreatment Saga

Former Libya international Moatasem Al-Musrati has accused the European media of painting a wrong picture of the Super Eagles maltreatment saga at the Al Abraq airport on Monday.

In a post on his official facebook page, the Besitas star noted that European media failed to balance their report by including the way Nigeria also maltreated Libya in the previous game at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium.

He stated that Libyan players were held hostage for hours in the Airport for no reason before been thrown in malfunctioning busses.

“This evening, some European media have been falsely reporting the suffering of of Nigerian players after they were badly treated in Libya when they came to play the second Leg game here against the Libyan national football team,” Al-Musrati said on Monday.

“This game counts as the fourth round match for the qualifiers of the next African Nations cup.

“The full truth of what happened is that this is a normal and logical result according to what had happened to the Libyan National team when they went to play the first leg match in Nigeria.

“Libyan players were held for hours in the Airport for no reason then were thrown in malfunctioning busses.

“They were driven in those buses for three hours to arrive in an area with high military tension.”
