The Super Eagles striker, Victor Boniface, has demanded better behaviour from the necessary authorities, after the team was left stranded at the Al Abaq Airport for almost 13 hours after landing in Libya on Sunday.

Their chartered aircraft was diverted away from Benghazi, just as the pilot was completing his approach to the Benghazi Airport on Sunday night.

The Libyan Football Federation also failed to send any reception team or even vehicles to take the delegation members from the airport to their hotel, which is said to be three hours away in Benghazi.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, had to make arrangements for separate vehicles for the team but the plan was unhinged by the diversion of the aircraft.

Reacting to the development, Boniface in a tweet on X on Monday, also called on CAF to do better.

The Bayer Leverkusen attacker wrote: Been at the airport for almost 13 hours no food no wifi no where to sleep African we can do better @caf.”

The Super Eagles are scheduled to play Libya on Tuesday, following their 1-0 win in the first leg on Friday.
