FIFA council member, Amaju Pinnick has spoken about the unfair treatment of the Super Eagles by Libya.
He revealed that the long-awaited CAF verdict on the botched 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between NigerIa’s Super Eagles and Libya will be made public “today or tomorrow”.
Recall that Super Eagles players and officials were held hostage at the Al Abaq Airport for several hours on their arrival for the 2025 AFCON qualifying matchday four encounter.
The team later boycotted the game and returned to Nigeria.
Pinnick stated that the matter was extensively discussed during CAF’s executive committee meeting this week.
“CAF is taking this issue very seriously,” Pinnick said during an interview with Arise Television today.
“CAF President, Patrice Motsepe, personifies integrity and Pan-Africanism.
“We deliberated on it in our executive committee meeting. It was a subject of intense discussion.
“We pointed out the fact that this is very serious because anything could have happened (to the Super Eagles).
“So, CAF are taking the matter seriously and we’re not leaving any stone unturned.”
