The President of the Confederation of African Football, CAF, Patrice Motsepe, has reacted to the inhuman treatment given to the Nigerian Super Eagles by the Libyan authorities.
He spoke at the 46th Ordinary General Assembly of the CAF in Addis Ababa on Tuesday.
Motsepe also revealed that appropriate action will be taken at the end of the investigation.
Recall that Super Eagles players and their officials were subjected to harsh treatment in Libya ahead of their 2025 African Cup of Nations, AFCON, qualifier in the October international break.
The team’s flight to Benghazi was diverted to a small airport, Al Abraq, far from Benghazi airport and the players were held captive for more than 15 hours without food, water or internet access.
“We should have zero tolerance. “When there was this issue of the Nigerian team in Libya, I will not comment on it because there is a proper investigation.” Motesepe said.
“But I want to emphasize a principle that we will not tolerate. This is something that has been happening for quite some time.
“Forget the situation between Libya and Nigeria; forget about it; Appropriate measures will be taken. “I have heard too many stories about a football club or a national team going to a country.”
