The reason why the Super Eagles of Nigeria are yet to arrive in Nigeria after yesterday’s 2-1 win over Lesotho in Polokwane have been made known to OwnGoalNigeria.com.
Super Eagles were expected to be in Nigeria in the early hours of today, but at the time of this report they are yet to arrive in Uyo ahead of Tuesday’s cracker against Benin Republic.
Their visitors are already in Nigeria for the game, where they need to avoid defeat to seal a spot in the world cup, unlike Nigeria who need a win and hope that South Africa fail to beat Rwanda in the group’s other game.
We gathered that the charted flight convening the super eagles players from Polokwane back to Nigeria has been forced to land in Angola when the pilot announced a crack window in the cock pit midday after taking off in Luanda Angola after an initial stop over in the Angolan capital to refuel.
Reports says that there was no visible threat to lives of all on board as the pilot safely landed the aircraft properly. They are now expected to board another aircraft to Nigeria.
