Ultimately, the players and officials were allowed to return to Nigeria, opting not to participate in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against the Mediterranean Knights. Ejuke’s account highlights the logistical and safety challenges the team encountered during this unexpected and difficult situation.
“It was a crazy situation that we did not expect. We could not do anything, we were locked in the airport,” he told Dario de Sevilla.
“We were locked in for about 16 hours. Yes, it was a long time. Without food, we brought some water when we came from Nigeria and some snacks from the flight.
“We were a little scared, but we all stood together so that we wouldn’t go crazy”
