Osimhen, Nwabali Condemn Inhumane Treatment Of Super Eagles In Libya

Nigerian football stars, Victor Osimhen and Stanley Nwabali have publicly expressed their deep disappointment over the treatment of the Super Eagles at Al Abraq International Airport in Libya.

In a heartfelt statement posted on social media, Osimhen voiced his frustration over what he described as the unprofessional handling of the national team, labelling the situation as “inhumane.”

His comments come in the wake of a distressing incident where the Super Eagles were reportedly held hostage at the airport after their flight was diverted from its intended destination.

He said, “I am disappointed by the unfair treatment my brothers and coaches faced at the Libyan airport last night. Actions like this go against the spirit of sportsmanship. My support is with my team, and I know they’ll stay strong despite these obstacles.”

He urged the Confederation of African Football to intervene swiftly.

Osimhen further stated, “I call on CAF and other football bodies to intervene, as my teammates and officials are still stranded at the airport in Libya. This is uncalled for and inhumane. We stand together, stronger than ever.”

Nwabali, echoing Osimhen’s concerns, took to social media to express his outrage at the conditions the team endured during their trip.

Posting on his X handle, he revealed that the Super Eagles had been stranded for over 14 hours at an abandoned airport, with no access to food, water, or internet.

He described the ordeal as “absolutely crazy” and also called for immediate CAF intervention.

“Over 14 hours spent at an abandoned Libyan airport. No food, no water, no internet access — this is absolutely crazy! #CAF_Online, please do the needful,” Nwabali tweeted.
