More revelations are coming through from the horror show of the Super Eagles in Libya.

The latest of it is that the Tunisian pilot who flew the Super Eagles of Nigeria to Libya for African Cup of Nations, AFCON, qualifying match in Benghazi says he was ordered by the Libyan government to divert the flight to Al-Abraq Airport. The Airport located 150 miles away from the destination point.

If you may recall the Super Eagles were billed to land at the Airport in Benghazi and travelled nearly four hours drive by road to Benina where the match was to be played.

The pilot reveals, however, that upon beginning descent, he was instructed to divert to Al-Abraq, which was not listed as an alternative Airport.
