Several platforms have called on authorities to deport Nigerian workers in Libya after the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Disciplinary Board recently ruled against the Libya Football Federation (LFF).
A few weeks ago, the Super Eagles of Nigeria travelled to Libya for the return leg of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.
However, they were faced with several difficulties and unkind acts from the Libyan FA, who kept them without food and drinks for more than 15 hours, leading to the team abandoning the match.
The incident led to several investigations by the CAF Disciplinary Board and were later sanctioned by the governing body.
