Super Eagles Detained: Nigeria-Libya Diplomatic Crisis
The Nigerian Federal Government has summoned the Libyan envoy following the detention of the Super Eagles team at Al Abaq Airport in Libya.
The team was stranded for over 13 hours due to an unexpected flight diversion, prompting Nigeria’s withdrawal from an Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.
The government expressed strong displeasure over the treatment of the national team and is seeking an official explanation from the Libyan authorities.
The situation has sparked diplomatic tensions between the two nations.
