The Nigeria Football Federations (NFF) has blasted its Libyan counterparts after its captain Faisal Al-Badri claimed that were ill-treated upon their arrival in the country for the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

NFF Assistant Director (Protocol), Emmanuel Ayanbunmi, said the Libya Federation only informed the NFF that their team were landing in Port Harcourt, and not Uyo, only three hours before the team’s arrival on Tuesday.

“I spoke to the General Secretary of LFF, at length, on Monday, 7th October and he never hinted that his team would be arriving on Tuesday (the following day,” Ayanbunmi recounted.

“He only said he would get back to me but he never did. On Monday evening, someone sent as an advance party by the LFF called me and said his team would be arriving on Tuesday by noon. We made all arrangements to receive the team in Uyo on arrival.”
