Victor Osimhen has condemned the treatment meted out to
Super Eagles players and officials by Libyan authorities.
The Super Eagles are in Libya for the 2025 Africa Cup of
Nations qualifying matchday four encounter against the Mediterranean Knights.
The players and their officials are still holed up at the Al
Abaq Airport several hours after landing in Libya.
Their plane was diverted to Al Abaq on Sunday night by
Libyan authorities.
The contingent were also denied access to hotel
accommodation by their hosts.
The players have already resolved to boycott the game.
“I am disappointed by the unfair treatment my brothers and
coaches are facing at the Libya airport last night,” Osimhen wrote on
Instagram.
“Actions like this go against the spirit of sportsmanship.
My support is with my team and I know they’ll stay strong despite these
obstacles.
“I call on CAF and other football bodies to intervene, as my
teammates and officials are still stranded at the airport in Libya. This is
uncalled for and inhumane. We stand together, together than ever.”
