Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface recently shared a photo of the ‘Isakaba’ bus provided by the Libyan Football Association ahead of their clash on Tuesday.
The team’s journey to Libya for the AFCON qualifiers’ second leg has faced significant delays, as they were diverted from Benghazi to Al Abaq and have now been stranded at the airport for over 15 hours, awaiting help from Libyan officials.
On Monday, Boniface took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice his disappointment with the transportation arrangements.
He revealed that the Nigerian team declined to board the provided bus due to unacceptable conditions.
“See Iskaba bus wey them bring come yesterday, Nobody enter ooo,” he wrote.
The Bayer Leverkusen player commented, “Check out this dragon bus that arrived after 16 hours. Come and see the video.”
The Nigerian delegation was compelled to spend the night in poor conditions due to unsportsmanlike behavior from the opposition, who lost 1-0 in the first leg in Uyo.
