Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface posted today on X that the team have been at a local airport in Libya without food, sleep and internet connection for the past 13 hours.
“Been at the airport for almost 13 hours no food no wifi no where to sleep African we can do better
@caf,” Victor Boniface cried out early this morning.
A journalist, Tobi Adepoju, who is traveling with the Super Eagles confirmed the torrid time they are facing in Libya.
He also took X to give a graphic account of the horror.
“5.10am in Libya.
“The Nigerian contingent are still stranded and locked at the Al-Abraq airport.
“10+ hours at the airport stranded and held hostage.
“This is crazy.”
Some of the players gave vowed not to play the match, while many Nigerian commentators have said the team should boycott this match in protest.
The Super Eagles chartered flight from Uyo was diverted from Benghazy an hour to when it was to land.
The team are still at the Al-Abraq Airport, which is a city at least three hours by road from Benina near Benghazy, where tomorrow’s match will be played.
