• Jalla Wants AU To Call Libya To Order • Civil Society Group Urges Tinubu To Approach ICC In Hague The Confederation of African Football, CAF, has asked the Libyan Football Federation, LFF, and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to submit documents relating to the cancellation of the 2025 AFCON qualifying Group D fixture.

Meanwhile, a civil society group, Congress for Good Governance for National Unity has charged the Federal Government to institute a case of attempted genocide against the Libyan Government at the International Criminal Court at the Hague saying that the lives of Super Eagles players and the supportive continents were put in danger of death by Libyan authorities for forcefully diverting the landing of their aircraft to another airport about 150 kilometers away from the earlier one, and which the aircraft’s fuel had been earmarked for the shorter route.

The group in a statement by the National President Abiodun Fanoro further urged President Bola Tinubu to lodge the same complaint at the African High Commission for Human rights, stressing that the deadly action of the Libyan Government “has exceeded the boundary of football and has dangerously crossed into criminal act of attempt on lives of the Nigerian sports ambassadors as attested to by the courageous Tunisian pilot, who revealed that the landing diversion was in the realm of compromising safety of those on board.” The group said while CAF would be handling the football aspect of the incident, both ICC and the African High Commission for Human Right should at the same time be dealing with “culpable attempted genocide, crime of hostage, deprivation of essential and basic life sustaining rights to food, water and communication”     According to
