The Super Eagles of Nigeria have returned to Malam Aminu Kano International Airport following a difficult ordeal in Libya.
Naija News understands that the Super Eagles flight from Libya was three and half hours.
Their chartered flight will refuel in the ancient Northern Nigerian city before it makes it way to Abuja and then Lagos.
Recall that the Super Eagles flew to Libya on Sunday, October 13, in preparation for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against the Mediterranean Knights at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, October 15.
After landing at the Al Abraq Airport in Libya, the Super Eagles were left stranded for over 13 hours without any assistance from the host Libyan Football Federation.
A statement from the NFF communication department said the Super Eagles’ chartered aircraft was unexpectedly diverted to Al Abraq Airport, a small airport primarily used for hajj operations, instead of landing at the intended Benghazi Airport.
This unexpected diversion has left the players and officials fatigued and bewildered, as they have not received any reception or transportation to their hotel, which is reportedly a 3-hour drive away in Benghazi.
