Super Eagles Depart Libya, En Route To Nigeria
After over 14 hours of being delayed at Al Abraq International Airport, the Libyan government cleared the Nigerian flight to return the players and officials home.
Sports journalist, Adepoju Tobi Samuel, popularly OgaNlaMedia made this known in a post.
He said: “After pressure from several quarters, the Libyan government has agreed to issue clearance for ValueJet Airline to fly and sell aviation fuel to the airline.
“They came with a gimmick to issue a pre-clearance to land in Benghazi first before we fly to Nigeria. The same Benghazi that was busy yesterday.
“The NFF has insisted that the clearance from Al-Abraq airport must be for the team to fly directly to Nigeria.”
The development was also confirmed 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.”
“OUR BOYS ARE RETURNING HOME,” he wrote.
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.”
