#EndSARS: Super Eagles players to boycott AFCON qualifiers

Super Eagles midfielder, John Ogu has revealed that players will not represent Nigeria in next month’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nation double-header against Sierra Leone.

Ogu reacted to the recent shootings at Lekki toll gate as a result of the #EndSARS protest.

He wrote on Twitter, “The Politicians should ask their children to represent Nigeria in the next @NGSuperEagles @thenff upcoming games. I’m so devastated like right now.”

Some overseas-based players were afraid of returning to Nigeria for Eagles games, for fear of being killed or maimed.

“We can’t be representing a country that kills our brothers and sisters. This killings and unrest must stop or we stay away,” another player based in Belgium said.
