William Troost-Ekong, captain of the Nigerian national team has revealed that the squad may have been cleared to return to Nigeria after being held up for nearly 24 hours at the Al Abraq airport.

Ekong wrote: “Power of social media. Our plane is being fuelled as we speak and we should be leaving to Nigeria shortly. Thanks for everyone’s support!”
Earlier, the captain wrote that they were unable to leave the airport for Nigeria as the Libyan authorities refused to allow the fuelling of the aircraft.
