The Super Eagles have arrived at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano State, after their ordeal in Libya ahead of the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifier.
THE TRUTH reports that the Super Eagles, who departed Nigeria on Sunday, had their flight unexpectedly diverted to a remote airport far from the match venue, resulting in an additional three-hour road journey to their destination.
The situation worsened as the players, pilots, and other personnel were stranded at the Libyan airport for over 13 hours without access to necessities like food, water, or a place to rest.
Photos of the team sleeping on benches went viral early Monday, prompting condemnation from Nigerian authorities.
However, the team has now landed in Kano after their flight was cleared to take off in Libya.
