Leon Balogun has called on the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to take stringent action against Libyan authorities for their poor treatment of Super Eagles players and officials on their arrival in the country on Sunday.
The Super Eagles were due to land in Benghazi but the plane was diverted to another destination.
The contingent spent several hours at the Al Abaq Airport as there was no bus to convey them to Benghazi.
The Al Abaq Airport is more than two hours away from Benghazi.
Balogun, a former Super Eagles defender, expressed his anger with the poor treatment meted out on the team.
“Hey @CAF_Online – surely you’re going to investigate thoroughly and take action, right? Whoever is responsible for this needs to be held accountable. This is unacceptable,” he wrote.
The Super Eagles are scheduled to play Libya on Tuesday, following their 1-0 victory in the first leg last Friday.
