Then while is Victor osimhen not allowed to travel. I don’t understand Nigeria government anymore. Or did Musa took another route that is not airport? Please let us prevail on this government that does not know their left from their to allow the young man osimhen go back to his base. Is the father’s death not enough agony for him, must the government add to his worries? I come in peace ooooo
Am not sure about that, but the news from lille is that they are giving him extra time off because of the death of his father. The same Nigerian government allows him to flew him with a private jet even when the pandemic is at it’s peak. So I don’t think the government is blocking him from leaving, absolutely no reason for that.
The The Airport was closed March 23rd, so how did he get into Nigeria in April. My guess is he probably was not in Nigeria. Has for Kalu and victor, Air France is still picking up its citizens from Nigeria. I believe the embassy could help them secure sits to leave the country, if they chose to
