Just In: Super Eagles Set To Board Flight Back To Nigeria

The Super Eagles are set to board a flight back to Nigeria from Libya.

Glamtush reports that the Super Eagles players and officials are set to leave Libya after enduring over 14 hours of maltreatment from the host country on Sunday.

This development was confirmed by the Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa via her X handle.

She wrote, “Super Eagles team now boarding . Journey mercies to all of them.”

Also, 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.

Also, sports journalist Adepoju Tobi Samuel, popularly known as OgaNlaMedia wrote, “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.”

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.
