NFF Condoles Families Of Slain Journalist, Others On AFCON Duty

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has condoled families of three media persons killed in a kidnapping ambush in Anambra State.

They were part of a SuperSport crew traveling to Uyo, Akwa Ibom to broadcast the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match between Nigeria and Libya — a game the Super Eagles won on Friday.

They were said to have been ambushed along Ihiala-Orlu Road on Tuesday while travelling from Lagos to Uyo.

The bandits were said to have opened fire on the bus carrying the crew members and security personnel, resulting in the deaths of a cameraman, a police officer and the bus driver.
