The Super Eagles have been cleared to depart Libya by 2pm following their maltreatment by the Libyan authorities.
Team captain William Troost- Ekong had earlier written on his X handle: “Power of social media. Apparently our plane is being fueled as we speak and we should be leaving to Nigeria shortly. Thanks for everyone’s support!
“I REITERATE: We would NEVER treat a guest nation for a game in this way. Mistakes happen, delays happen. But never on purpose!”
The Media Officer of the Super Eagles, Promise Efoghe, said that Nigeria had reported Libya to the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and the Confederation of African Football ( CAF).
