The Nigerian Senate has strongly and unanimously condemned the Libyan government’s inhumane treatment of the Super Eagles, Nigeria’s national football team, during their recent 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier match in Libya.

The Senate urged the Libyan authorities to tender an unreserved apology to the Nigerian government and people for the ill-treatment meted out to the team. This resolution was reached after Senator Sumaila Kawu, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Sports, raised a point of order under Order 42 of the Senate Standing Rules.

Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, described the treatment as “terrible and condemnable,” stating it contradicts the spirit of sports, which promotes unity, competition, and brotherhood among nations.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio also condemned the incident, calling it “unacceptable” and a breach of international norms. He declared solidarity with the Super Eagles, the Nigeria Football Federation, and the Nigerian football community.

The Senate demanded a thorough investigation by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Disciplinary Committee, appropriate sanctions against those responsible, and immediate action from Libyan authorities to investigate and hold accountable those involved.

Akpabio called on the international football community to condemn Libya’s actions and support Nigeria’s demand for justice.

This incident has sparked widespread outrage in Nigeria, with many calling for decisive action against Libya. The Nigerian government and football authorities are expected to take further steps to address the situation.
