Although Osimhen missed the recent AFCON qualifier due to injury, the African Footballer of the Year voiced his frustration over the situation.
Taking to his social media page, Victor Osimhen expressed his support for his teammates and called on the CAF and other football bodies for immediate intervention.
He wrote, “I am disappointed by the unfair treatment my brothers and coaches have been facing in the Libya airport since last night.
“Actions like this go against the spirit of sportsmanship. My support is with my team, and I know they’ll stay strong despite these obstacles.
“I call on CAF and other football bodies to intervene, as my teammates and officials are still stranded at the airport in Libya. This is uncalled for and inhumane. We stand together, stronger than ever.”
