After the Super Eagles of Nigeria’s airport incident in Libya, Patrice Motsepe, head of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), says the right steps would be followed.
Upon their arrival in Libya for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matchday four match, the players and their staff were detained for several hours at the Al Abaq Airport.
The contingent was not allowed to use the internet, food, or water.
The matter has already been forwarded to the disciplinary committee of CAF.
“We should have zero tolerance. When there was this problem of the Nigerian national team in Libya, I will not comment on that because there is a proper investigation,” Motesepe said during the CAF’s 46th Ordinary General Assembly in Addis Ababa, on Tuesday,
“But I want to emphasise a principle that we will not tolerate. This is something that has been going on for quite some time.
“Forget about the Libya vs Nigeria situation; forget about that; appropriate action will be taken. I have heard too many stories about a football club or national team that goes to a country.”
