There was confusion at the Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport, Abuja, yesterday, after a
plain cloth policeman attempted to open fire on
Super Eagles’ players while trying to arrest
Chairman of the League Management
Committee, Shehu Dikko.
The players just touched down in the country
after their last weekend’s match against Zambia
where they won by 2 goals to one.
It was gathered that as soon as the Eagles and
their officials filed out from the arrival hall to
the beating of drums and songs, two plain-cloth
policemen accosted Chairman of the LMC,
Dikko, claiming that Abuja Police Commissioner
wanted to see him.
According to Vanguard, they had no arrest
warrants.
As officials and players came to the scene to
know what was going on, one of the officers
pulled out his gun and fired some shots.
Pandemonium ensued as the Eagles scampered
for safety.
