Super Eagles Ahmed Musa has expressed his displeasure over the poor treatment of the Libyan authorities towards the Super Eagles contingent, who have been held hostage for more than 15 hours at the Al Abraq Airport after landing in Libya.
The chartered ValueJet aircraft was, strangely and dangerously, diverted to the small airport away from Benghazi just as the pilot was completing his approach to the Benghazi Airport.
The Kano Pillars ace shared a post on X App, formerly Twitter, and read: “I’m extremely disappointed by the unjust treatment of the Super Eagles, the NFF officials, as well as dignitaries in Libya.
“This is not sportsmanship, and I want the football governing body, @CAF_Online to intervene and investigate this incident.”
“I stand with the players in this difficult time. ❤👏🫂.”
Meanwhile, the fatigued players and officials have remained nonplussed as the host Libyan Football Federation failed to send any reception team or even vehicles to take the delegation members from the airport to their hotel, said to be 3 hours away in Benghazi.
The NFF made arrangements for separate vehicles for the team but the plan was unhinged by the diversion of the aircraft.
Players have resolved not to play the match any longer as NFF officials are making plans to fly the team back home.
