    FG demands justice over inhuman treatment of Super Eagles at Libyan airport – Ravenewsonline

    President Bola Tinubu has called on the disciplinary board of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to conduct a thorough investigation into the inhuman treatment endured by the Super Eagles at a Libyan airport.

    President Tinubu urged CAF to take appropriate action against those who willfully violated its statutes and regulations.

    He made the call in a statement issued by his Special Adviser, Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, on Monday in Abuja.

    Tinubu, who welcomed the safe return of the Super Eagles, decried their harrowing experience, which prompted the withdraw of the team from a scheduled match on Tuesday.

    The President commended the proactive coordination between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Sports Development in addressing the unfortunate episode and ensuring the safe return of the 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.”
