This incident occurred during an unusually challenging week for Boniface. Just days prior, he faced significant adversity while with the Super Eagles national team in Libya, where they were stranded at an abandoned airport for 20 hours without basic necessities such as food and water.

Despite these challenges, Boniface demonstrated resilience by returning to club football and making a significant impact on the field. His performance against Frankfurt not only helped secure a vital win for Bayer Leverkusen but also showcased his ability to bounce back from adversity.
Nigerians and Bayer Leverkusen fans have come together to wish the superstar a swift recovery from both emotional and physical challenges.
