Nigerian striker Victor Boniface, who plays for Bayer Leverkusen, has received words of encouragement from his club following a harrowing experience with the Super Eagles in Libya.
Boniface and his teammates were stranded at Libya's Al Abaq Airport for over 15 hours ahead of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The team had previously defeated Libya 1-0 in the first leg.
Expressing his distress, Boniface tweeted, "This is getting scary now, You guys can have the points. We just want to return to our country." Bayer Leverkusen swiftly responded, "Stay safe, Victor – we're all thinking of you and your teammates."
In response to the incident, the Super Eagles have boycotted the scheduled match. The team's decision emphasizes the importance of player safety and dignity.
Bayer Leverkusen's supportive message highlights the club's concern for their player's well-being amidst this challenging situation.
