The National U-17 team, the Golden Eaglets suffered discrimination over the deadly Ebola disease in the hands of Gabonese officials yesterday in Togo when they were disembarked from a Gabon-bound ASKY Airline flight.
Consequently, The Nigeria Football Federation has sent a strong letter of protest to the Confederation of African Football over the unsavoury incident in Lome.
Having flown from their base in Calabar to Lagos and travelled by road from Lagos to Cotonou as a result of the cancellation of all Gabon –bound flights from Lagos, the delegation members were issued boarding passes on the ASKY Airline flight from Cotonou to Libreville, via Lome, only to be subjected to the harsh treatment after landing in the Togolese capital.
