Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has announced that despite fuel being available at Libya’s Abraq International Airport, the team has been stranded for over 12 hours, with no clearance given to refuel their plane.

Frustrations grew as the team waited since morning for a resolution, further delaying their return to Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Nigeria’s Foreign Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, disclosed that the Libyan government has refused permission for Nigeria’s Mission to visit the team.

Despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, the team remains stuck at the airport.

“Can I shock you?! the pilot has just told us there has been fuel at this airport for the plane all this time. They could have released it but haven’t given us permission since. Can you imagine?! So how long are they planning to hold us hostage here!!! Still just waiting,” he wrote on X.

“After our first tweets magically a team bus arrived and a driver who has been standing inside the airport filming us and laughing with some of the other staff since last night said the bus was ready 12 hours after we landed. Now we have been waiting for fuel since morning…”

“At this point I’m even tired of laughing instead of crying.”

Troost-Ekong has also noted that since they posted on the social media, the process of flying out of Libya has begun with their plane currently being refueled.
