NFF contact CAF
The NFF have sent a message to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) about the mistreatment they are getting from Libya FA.
According to Adepoju Tobi Samuel, a.k.a OgaNlaMedia on X, “The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has been in contact with CAF reporting the sad incident since yesterday evening.
“There's no clarity or directive from CAF. The NFF has submitted a detailed appeal to the CAF.”
The report claimed that there has been no reply from CAF as the team remains stranded at the Al Abaq airport in Al Abaq.
The Super Eagles and the NFF delegates have been at the airport for more than 15 hours without food.
The players also rejected the buses provided to them yesterday, which Boniface described as “Ibakasi” buses and remained at the airport.
