In what seems to be an act of retaliation, then Libyan people have begin to arrest Nigerians in the Tripoli region of the country who allegedly have no papers in the light of the believe that they are a burden to the Libyan people and need to return back home. This can only be the reaction towards the fine of $50,000 dollars which is to be paid within 60 days of notice as instructed by the confederation of African football.
The verdict came with regards to the complaint logged by the NFF with regards to the ill and inhumane treatment meted out to the super eagles in a bid to converge for the second leg of the African cup of nations qualifiers, the super eagles squad were without food, water and Internet for over 20 hours. Passing the verdict it was made clear that the act of the Libyans contradicts Article 31 of the Africa Cup of Nations Regulations and Articles 82 and 151 of the CAF Disciplinary Code.In this regard aside the fine the super eagles have been awarded 3 points and 3 goals for the boycotted game.
The decision has brought about rancour as indigens believe Nigerians in Libya are threats and should be made to leave, arrests have been confirmed in the Tedora and Tripoli region with evidence flying about the internet and Libyan owner blogs.Why people are calling on authorities to aid Nigerians living in Libya, Libyans have made it clear the fine by CAF will be spearhead by Nigeriana living there with each posed to be charged $500+, the arrest which started on Sunday night involved everyone irrespective of the fact if your papers are intact or not
