Earlier, the Super Eagles of Nigeria were left stranded at the airport in Libya by Libyan officials “with no food no wifi”.
The skipper said, “we will not play this game” following “disgraceful behaviour” from the Libyan government against Nigeria players and officials.
According to Troost-Ekong: “Power of social media. Apparently our plane is being fueled as we speak and we should be leaving to Nigeria shortly. Thanks for everyone’s support!
“I REITERATE: We would NEVER treat a guest nation for a game in this way. Mistakes happen, delays happen. But never on purpose!”
