The players and officials of the Super Eagles are set to depart from Libya following a tumultuous delay of over 14 hours and alleged mistreatment by the host country on Sunday.
This was disclosed by a sports enthusiast, identified as Pooja Media, via his X handle on Monday.
He wrote, “Super Eagles players and all officials are boarding to fly out of Libya to Nigeria. Thank God.”
Confirming this, a player, Bruno Onyemaechi, wrote, “Me and Libya, I don wash my hands commot. Nothing concerns me and una again. Thank God I’m going back.”
Prior to this, Libyan authorities were alleged to have refused to provide the Super Eagles’ chartered flight, ValueJet, with permission and aviation fuel to fly the players back to Nigeria.
