Super Eagles Stranded: Minister Enoh Demands Accountability from Libya
Nigeria’s Sports Minister, John Enoh, has condemned the Libyan authorities for their “disrespect and mistreatment” of the Super Eagles squad during their recent ordeal at a Libyan airport.
The team was stranded for nearly 20 hours, facing harsh conditions without adequate food, Wi-Fi, or sleeping arrangements, which sparked outrage both within Nigeria and among fans internationally.
In his statement, Enoh expressed his disappointment with the way the Super Eagles were treated, especially considering their status as national representatives in an international competition.
He described the treatment as highly disrespectful and unacceptable, calling for an explanation and corrective measures to prevent such occurrences in the future.
The Sports Minister’s condemnation reflects the growing frustration over the logistical challenges faced by the Nigerian football team, and it underscores the importance of ensuring that players are treated with dignity and provided with proper support, especially during international engagements like the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Enoh’s statement has been met with widespread approval from fans who are hoping for improved conditions and better organization for the Super Eagles going forward.
