The Nigeria Super Eagles Players has raises some concerns about been stranded in Libya as Wilfried Ndidi said, This Is Becoming Scary.. I’m Scared For Our Lives.
Victor Boniface also said “This is getting scary now
You guys can have the point We just want to return to our country”
The super Eagles captain also share this on this X handle.
He said: “Can I shock you?! the pilot has just told us there has been fuel at this airport for the plane all this time. They could have released it but haven’t given us permission since. Can you imagine?! So how long are they planning to hold us hostage here!!! Still just waiting”
“After our first tweets magically a team bus arrived and a driver who has been standing inside the airport filming us and laughing with some of the other staff since last night said the bus was ready 12 hours after we landed. Now we have been waiting for fuel since morning.”
“At this point I’m even tired of laughing instead of crying.” Says Ekong.
The team landed in Libya for their AFCON qualifying match but has reportedly been stranded at the airport without basic necessities such as food and WiFi.
It was learnt that the chartered ValueJet aircraft was, strangely and in a dangerous manner, diverted to the small airport away from Benghazi just as the pilot was completing his approach to the Benghazi Airport.
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.
According to reports, the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) is now making urgent arrangements to return the team to Nigeria, as the players have resolved not to play the match due to the poor treatment they have received.
