Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar has denied that the country apologised to Libya after the Super Eagles were detained in Benghazi. This is following a report by The Libya Observer that Nigeria had apologised for the situation.

In a statement released by Alkasim Abdulkadir, the Minister’s Special Assistant on Media and Communication Strategy, Tuggar described the report as an attempt to mislead African football officials and fans and gain political advantage.

He said the report misquoted him and Libya’s Eastern based Foreign Minister, Abdelhadi Lahweej.

Tuggar said instead of apologising, Nigeria expressed displeasure at the treatment of the national team and demanded a quick resolution.
