The Federal Government has summoned Libya’s Chargé d’affaires to resolve the situation involving its national football team, the Super Eagles, who were stranded for over 12 hours after arriving in Libya.
The team arrived at the North African country for the return leg of the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers after beating the Mediterranean Knights of Libya 1-0 in Akwa Ibom last Friday.
“We have summoned the Libyan chargé d’affaires,” Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, confirmed to State House Correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday.
Tuggar said the Super Eagles were redirected to an airport without aviation fuel, leaving them stranded.
