Victor Osimhen has condemned the barbaric treatment meted out on his Super Eagles teammates by the Libyan authorities.
The Super Eagles players and their officials are currently stranded at the Al Abaq Airport several hours after arriving the North African country.
Captain of the team, William Troost-Ekong has already said they won’t go ahead with Tuesday’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday four encounter against the Mediterranean Knights.
Osimhen blasted the Libyan officials for their inhumane act, Prompt News reports.
“I am disappointed by the unfair treatment my brothers and coaches are facing at the Libya airport last night.
“Actions like this go against the spirit of sportsmanship. My support is with my team and I know they’ll stay strong despite these obstacles.
“I call on CAF and other football bodies to intervene, as my teammates and officials are still stranded at the airport in Libya. This is uncalled for and inhumane. We stand together, together than ever.”
