"Thank God CAF officials are not from INEC; if not, the decision taken against Libya could have been against the Super Eagles of Nigeria, and guess what the announcement will come at midnight......."
@Seankleann said:
"@CAF_Online has shown the World that indiscipline and unsportsmanship is not tolerated or allowed in African Football with this rightful verdict and it’s a relief to Super Eagles of Nigeria. I don’t have much to say…Kudos to them."
@Enwagboso said:
"The Disciplinary Board of CAF has diligently fulfilled its responsibilities in addressing the breach committed by Libya. Mixing politics with everything is not a good practice. Some Nigerians tried to rationalize Libya's treatment of the Nigeria team due to their dissatisfaction with the current Nigerian administration. That was unfortunate."
Super Eagles players speak
Super Eagles players want one sanction for Libya Legit.ng in another report detailed that players of the Super Eagles are calling for a specific punishment to be imposed by CAF on Libya.
The report highlights the federation's fears that a forfeiture, resulting in maximum points being awarded to Nigeria, would jeopardize their chances of qualifying for the tournament in Morocco.
Libya's opportunity to gain an advantage in the hearing regarding the incident was further complicated by statements from the Tunisian pilot, who described how he was compelled to divert the aircraft from its intended landing in Benghazi to Al Abraq Airport.
