“Libya’s treatment of the @NGSuperEagles is unacceptable and condemnable. @FIFAcom and @CAF_Online must impose serious sanctions on them.”
Shehu Sani spoke after Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, the minister of foreign affairs, said he has been closely monitoring the situation involving the Super Eagles in Libya.
As of the time of filing this report, Vanguard reported that the Super Eagles players and officials are set to leave Libya after enduring over 14 hours of maltreatment from the host country on Sunday.
