The Nigeria football federation (NFF) has asked Confederation of African football (CAF) to award three points and three goals to the Super Eagles as compensation for the trauma they passed through in Libya when they went to honour an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Mediterranean knights.
The CAF Disciplinary committee will begin sitting in Cairo, Egypt, which is the Football body’s Headquarters contrary to earlier reports that it would sit at African Union Headquarters in Ethiopia.
Libya were billed to host Nigeria in a group D Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Benghazi, on October 15, but the Super Eagles boycotted the match when their plane was diverted to Al Abraq Airport, where they were held for over 16 hours without food, water, and access to the internet.
CAF last week appointed a committee to investigate the incident and punish any of the parties found culpable in the crisis.
