Victor Boniface, the Nigerian national team's striker, was involved in a heated exchange with a Libyan man who was filming the Super Eagles squad without providing any assistance. A video of the confrontation shows Boniface questioning the man's actions and humorously mocking his appearance.
The incident occurred amidst tensions between Nigeria and Libya, following the Super Eagles' premature departure from Libya on October 14th due to reported harsh treatment by the host country. Nigeria is scheduled to face Libya again on October 15th.
Boniface, known for his wit, teasingly referred to the man's appearance as having a "sapele face." The lighthearted jab belied the underlying frustration with the Libyan man's actions.
This encounter follows Nigeria's 1-0 victory over Libya in the first leg of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, where Fisayo Dele-Bashiru scored the winning goal in the 86th minute.
The Nigerian Football Federation and fans have condemned Libya's treatment of the Super Eagles, with investigations and diplomatic actions underway.
