Bayer Leverkusen star Victor Boniface has asked Nigerians to give his grandmother a call to assure her that he is okay.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria face mistreatment from the Libyan FA following their arrival for the second leg of their AFCON qualifying clash.
The teams arrived at a different Libyan airport yesterday after their flight was redirected to another location.
The players and the NFF delegates were stranded without any food for more than 15 hours and had to sleep over at the airport.

Boniface message to grandmother
Following the delay and mistreatment from the Libyan FA, Boniface has asked that his grandmother should be contacted.
The forward posted on his X account saying, “Help me call my grandmother say her grandson Dey ok. Nah, this is sick.”
The Super Eagles striker said he needs to let his grandmother know that her grandson is doing fine and well.
Boniface also posted a video of the buses provided for the team’s trip yesterday, calling them “Isakaba” buses.
However, he also revealed that the players and other delegates refused to board the bus as it did not look convenient for them.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that the NFF have contacted CAF and informed them of the situation they are facing at the airport.
The Nigerian Football Federation are still waiting for a reply from CAF as they remain stranded at the Libyan airport.
