This development was confirmed by the Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa via her X handle.

She wrote, “Super Eagles team now boarding. Journey mercies to all of them.”

A Super Eagles player, Bruno Onyemaechi, also confirmed the team will soon leave for Nigeria.

He wrote, “Me and Libya, I don wash my hands commot. Nothing concerns me and una again. Thank God I’m going back.”

The Nigerian team had earlier been stranded after Libyan authorities allegedly refused to grant permission for their chartered flight to refuel and return to Nigeria.
