Amaju Pinnick, a member of the FIFA council has revealed CAF will deliver its verdict on the botched 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday four encounter between the Super Eagles and Libya between today and tomorrow.
Pinnick, who was also a former president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) made the assertion during an interview on Arise Television.
“CAF are taking this issue very seriously,” Pinnick declared.
“CAF President, Patrice Motsepe, personifies integrity and Pan-Africanism.
“We deliberated on it in our executive committee meeting. It was a subject of intensed 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.”
Super Eagles players and officials were held hostage at the Al Abaq Airport for several hours on their arrival in Libya for the game.
The team later boycotted the game returned to Nigeria.
