Nigeria’s parliament, the House of Representatives, has resolved to investigate the “inhumane and despicable treatment” of its national team, the Super Eagles, by the Libyans during the now-boycotted Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match.
The lawmakers decided to conduct the probe following a motion of urgent public importance moved by Kabiru Ahmadu on Tuesday during the plenary session.
The Super Eagles were left stranded at Al Abraq Airport for 12 hours after landing in Libya. Their chartered ValueJet aircraft was diverted from Benghazi to the smaller Al Abraq International Airport, typically used for hajj operations.
