President Bola Tinubu has expressed his relief at the safe return of the Super Eagles to Nigeria after their distressing ordeal at a Libyan airport.

The Nigerian national football team was held in harsh conditions for several hours, leading to their withdrawal from the scheduled Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Libya on Tuesday.

Speaking in a press statement issued on Monday by its Special Adviser on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu condemned the treatment of the Super Eagles by Libyan authorities.

President Tinubu described it as a violation of both sportsmanship and human dignity.

The President has urged the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.

Also, he requested that those responsible be held accountable for breaching CAF’s Statutes and Regulations.

Tinubu also praised the swift response by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Federal Ministry of Sports Development in ensuring the players’ safe return.

He commended the resilience of the Super Eagles despite the ordeal.

Tinubu reaffirmed his belief in football as a unifying force for nations and people.
