President Bola Tinubu has condemned the inhumane treatment of the Super Eagles of Nigeria at a Libyan airport, calling for a thorough investigation by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Disciplinary Board.
Through his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu warmly welcomed the team back to Nigeria, expressing deep concern over their harrowing experience.
Tinubu emphasized that the Libyan authorities willfully violated CAF’s statutes and regulations, prompting the Nigerian Football Federation to withdraw the Super Eagles from the scheduled match on Tuesday. The team arrived safely in Nigeria through Kano Airport on Monday, bringing an end to their tumultuous trip.
The President’s statement comes after reports of the team’s mistreatment at the Libyan airport sparked widespread outrage. Tinubu’s swift response demonstrates his commitment to ensuring the safety and dignity of Nigerian athletes competing internationally.
“The President commends the proactive coordination between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Federal Ministry of Sports Development in addressing the unfortunate episode and ensuring the safe return of our players.
“President Tinubu applauds the players for keeping their spirit alive despite the excruciating ordeal in Libya.
“The Nigerian leader recognises football’s unifying power in bringing nations and people together and views the treatment of our citizens as unsportsmanlike and inhumane, a stark contrast to the spirit of the game he deeply appreciates.
“He fervently calls on all lovers of the round-leather game and administrators to unite and work collaboratively to prevent and overcome such incidents in the future,” Onanuga noted in the statement.
