Favour Ofili will not compete in the women's 100m event, while Temitope Adeshina bowed out in the high jump qualifying round.
She will later take to her X page demanding answers and justice to her plight and wants immediate action to be taken on whoever was responsible.
"Sadly, nothing has been done…. I'm yet to see or hear anyone is being punished for what the NOC and AFN did to me. Athletes shouldn't be getting punished for things out of their control.
"Who assigned federations and/or Olympic committees to enter athletes into Olympic Games? Is it World Athletics? If so, should they not hold them accountable when they fail to do their job by not entering athletes in events they qualify and want to compete?
