Libya: ‘Power of social media’ – Troost-Ekong confirms Super Eagles returning to Nigeria

 Captain of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, William Troost-Ekong on
Monday afternoon confirmed that Austin Eguavoen’s men are now returning to
Nigeria following the treatment they received from the Libyan authorities at Al
Abaq Airport. Troost-Ekong and his teammates were stranded at the Al Abaq
Airport following their arrival in the North African country on Sunday for a
2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, qualifying matchday four encounter against
the Mediterranean Knights on Tuesday. As a result, the Super Eagles players decided they will
boycott the game. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has also sent a
protest letter to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) regarding the
development. Providing an update on his X account, Troost-Ekong, said: “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!”
