Victor Osimhen has decried the treatment of Super Eagles players and staff by Libyan authorities.
The Super Eagles are in Libya to face the Mediterranean Knights on matchday four of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign.
Several hours after arriving in Libya, the players and their staff are still locked up at the Al Abaq Airport.
On Sunday night, Libyan officials rerouted their flight to Al Abaq.

The group was also refused hotel accommodations by their hosts.
The players have already decided to boycott the game.
“I am disappointed by the unfair treatment my brothers and coaches are facing at the Libya airport last night,” Osimhen wrote on Instagram.
“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.
“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, together than ever.”
