There was a mild drama when Nigeria’s Super Eagles arrived at the Jomo Kenyatta airport in Kenya in the early hours of today.
There are indications, Kenya officials who met the team at the airport insisted that the team must take the bus provided for them, and head for the 680 hotel booked by the Kenya Football Federation which Nigeria’s advance party had turned down.
Reports say the bus was however used to transport balls and luggage as the Nigerian contingent left without police escort, which only caught up with them along the way.
Meanwhile, more players are sounding confident ahead tomorrow’s game, midfielder Sunday Mba admits the super eagles will get the much needed victory against the Harambee Stars.
The undoubted hero from the last Africa Cup of Nations believes that though the team is short of some of its star players, the current squad will get the result needed.
In the first leg in Calabar in April, Mba started but was replaced midway into the second half with the eagles chasing an equaliser which Nnamdi Oduamadi got in added time to force the Harambee stars to a 1-all draw.
