African football chiefs launched an inquiry on Tuesday into an incident in which a plane carrying the Nigeria football squad and its technical advisers was diverted from its scheduled destination and landed at an airstrip hundreds of kilometres away from the venue of their Africa Cup of Nations clash against Libya.
The 2023 Cup of Nations runners-up were due to land at Benghazi airport for Tuesday night's Group D encounter but the pilot of their aircraft was told to land at Al Abraq Airport in Bayda.
