Expressing his frustration on X on Monday, Boniface wrote, “Been at the airport for almost 13 hours, no food, no Wi-Fi, nowhere to sleep. Africa, we can do better.”
The Super Eagles landed in Libya for their qualifier against the host nation, but their chartered ValueJet flight was diverted at the last minute from Benghazi Airport to the smaller Al Abraq International Airport, which is typically reserved for Hajj operations.
According to a statement from the Nigeria Football Federation on Monday, this diversion occurred just as the pilot was completing his approach to Benghazi.
The unexpected change left players and officials stranded without any reception or transport from the host Libyan Football Federation, despite arrangements being made.
The team was supposed to be transported to their hotel in Benghazi, approximately three hours away, but the diversion disrupted these plans.
