An overzealous policeman causes confusion as he threatened to shoot a Super Eagle player at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport

The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, was in perplexity yesterday, after a policeman on mufti endeavoured to start shooting at Super Eagles' players while attempting to capture Chairman of the League Management Committee, Shehu Dikko.


The players simply arrived in the nation after their last weekend's match against Zambia where they won by 2-1.

According to eyewitness report, when the Eagles and some officials came out from the landing corridor to the pounding of drums and melodies, two policemen on mufti addressed Chairman of the LMC, Dikko, asserting that Abuja Police Commissioner needed to see him.

As indicated by Vanguard, they had no warrants arrest from any source. Thus, when authorities and players went to the scene to realize what was going on, one of the overzealous officer hauled out his firearm and discharged a few shots.

Commotion resulted as the Eagles rushed for security. The actions of the police at the airport, then forced the national team members and officials to press on the policemen to tender their warrant of arrest.

Nevertheless, the Policeman was resolved to all the appeals as he was ready to shoot anyone that remained on his way. NFF President, Amaju Pinnick argued that they ought not to turn the delight of triumph to misery from the 2-1 win of Zambia in the 2018 World Cup qualifier, as that may spell doom for the nation.
