However, after being stranded at an airport 250 km (155 miles) from their destination for over 16 hours, the Nigerian players expressed their refusal to proceed with the match.

Reacting to the development via his official Instagram handle, Ndidi stated that this is not football being displayed by Libya.

“This is not football. Very embarrassing. Hostage to a national team. Disgrace.”

The Leicester City star was part of the Nigerian side that beat Libya 1-0 on Friday thanks to Fissayo Dele-Bashiru’s strike.
