Nigerian football stars Victor Osimhen and Stanley Nwabali have expressed deep disappointment over the treatment of the Super Eagles at Al Abraq International Airport in Libya.
Osimhen voiced his frustration regarding the unprofessional handling of the national team, labelling the situation as “inhumane” in a post on Monday.
“I am disappointed by the unfair treatment my brothers and coaches faced at the Libyan airport last night. Actions like this go against the spirit of sportsmanship. My support is with my team, and I know they’ll stay strong despite these obstacles,” Osimhen said.
He described the ordeal as “absolutely crazy” and also called for immediate CAF intervention. Over 14 hours spent at an abandoned Libyan airport.
“No food, no water, no internet access — this is absolutely crazy! #CAF_Online, please do the needful,” Nwabali tweeted.
Victor Boniface also shared his frustration on social media, writing, “Been at the airport for almost 13 hours, no food, no Wi-Fi, nowhere to sleep. Africa, we can do better.”
Our source reports that the Nigerian delegation was en route to Benghazi for a crucial qualifier when their chartered flight was dangerously diverted mid-flight to Al Abraq, a small airport typically used for hajj operations.
The team was left stranded at the airport for 12 hours without assistance from the Libyan Football Federation, which failed to provide transportation.
Despite the ongoing situation, CAF has yet to address the issue.
