Eagles media officer, Femi Raji had sent a WhatsApp message indicating the team would train in the evening, with media personnel allowed to cover the session.
This was after a police officer announced that he had received a new directive from the Chief Security Officer of the Super Eagles asking “all the pressmen to leave the stadium.”
Some of the journalists waited outside the gate of the stadium, hopeful that they would be let in when the Eagles arrived. Pleas from the reporters, that they were invited to cover the event, fell on deaf ears. The security personnel also refused to acknowledge the identity cards displayed by the reporters.All rights reserved.
