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.
