Players and officials of the Nigeria national football team, the Super Eagles, are set to fly back from Libya.
This comes after the Libyan government succumbed to pressure from external bodies, to refuel the Super Eagles’ chartered jet and clear their airspace.
The Nigerian players were abandoned at the Al Abraq International Airport without food, water or Internet for over 15 hours.
But they are now enroute Nigeria, as confirmed by sports journalist Adepoju Tobi Samuel, popularly known as OgaNlaMedia.
He wrote on X: “After pressure from several quarters, the Libyan government has agreed to issue clearance for ValueJet Airline to fly and sell aviation fuel to the airline.
“They came with a gimmick to issue a pre-clearance to land in Benghazi first before we fly to Nigeria. The same Benghazi that was busy yesterday.
“The NFF has insisted that the clearance from Al-Abraq airport must be for the team to fly directly to Nigeria.”
