According to Super Eagles interim coach Augustine Eguavoen, the players suffered a horrific ordeal in Libya.
On Sunday, Eguavoen and his team arrived in Libya for their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matchday four match against the Mediterranean Knights, only to be left detained at the Al Abaq Airport for several hours.
The Super Eagles returned to the country on Monday after the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) pulled out of the game.
“Thanks to the Libyans for letting us go, but it was a horrible 18-20 hours of experience and we don’t want to go through that again,” said Eguavoen on arrival in Nigeria Monday.
“We were held hostage, we could not have played this match under these circumstances
“We know how football can unite the entire world, but in this regard, for them to act like this, I cannot comprehend seriously.
“It was strange.
“CAF are human, they would do their investigations and come up with solutions.”
