After a stressful ordeal at a Libyan airport, Nigeria’s national football players found a unique way to unwind. Instead of celebrating quietly with family, they hit the nightlife.
Details: According to Pulse Sports, players including Alex Iwobi, Ademola Lookman, Semi Ajayi, Kevin Bassey, and William Troost-Ekong were spotted at a nightclub in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, mingling with a renowned DJ.

Reminder: The Nigerian squad recently endured difficult conditions at Libya's Al-Abrak Airport. After arriving there instead of Benghazi, they were left without food, communication, and basic facilities. The Libyan football federation could not arrange transport to their hotel, though they placed the blame on the Nigerian team. Following the incident, the Libyan federation's president resigned in response to the embarrassing mishap.
