Osimhen and Nwabali Slam Super Eagles’ Treatment at Libyan Airport
Nigerian football stars Victor Osimhen and Stanley Nwabali expressed their disappointment over the treatment of the Super Eagles at Al Abraq International Airport in Libya. Osimhen criticized the situation as “inhumane” and highlighted the unfair treatment his team received.
He called on the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to take action since his teammates and officials remained stranded at the airport.
Nwabali revealed that the Super Eagles had been stuck for over 14 hours without food, water, or internet access, calling the experience “absolutely crazy.” Victor Boniface also voiced his frustrations, stating they lacked essentials during their long wait. The Nigerian delegation was on its way to Benghazi for an important qualifier when their flight diverted to the small airport, typically used for Hajj operations. The Libyan Football Federation did not provide assistance, and CAF has yet to respond to the issue.
