The Super Eagles of Nigeria arrived safely in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, on Sunday morning at about 8:05 a.m.
Earlier, The Nation had reported that the team made an emergency stop in Luanda, Angola, on Saturday after experiencing a mid-air technical issue following their 2-1 victory over Lesotho.
According to a statement from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the aircraft was forced to land due to a cracked windscreen, which caused the in-flight scare.
With their arrival in Uyo, the Super Eagles will immediately shift focus to preparations for their crucial World Cup qualifying clash against Benin Republic on Tuesday, as they seek maximum points to boost their qualification hopes for next year’s tournament.
