looks good
– Fans continue to lurk around the stadium hoping to get into
the arena
Barely hours to the kick-off of the all-important 2017
African Cup of Nations qualifier between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the
Pharaohs of Egypt, there is a heavy presence of security men who have cordoned
off the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna, venue of the match.
Men of the Nigeria
Police Force, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) as well as
Nigerian Army officers are taking no chances at all, ahead of the game
which is billed to kick-off at 4pm today March 25.
According to a Super
Eagles supporter who pleaded anonymity, he has been around the Stadium since
9am, but could not get the ticket.
“I have been here
since 9am, but i can’t find ticket.The police wont allow us get into the
stadium.
In fact, i was told the ticket was supposed to be free, but
we can not find it. Someone just told me he bought his own for N600,” Not
comfortable with the situation, fans were seen in groups around the popular
Constitution Road, hoping to get the ticket to get into the arena.
Meanwhile, the president of the Nigeria Football
Federation(NFF) Amaju Pinnick and some of his top ranking officials are full of
praise for the Kaduna state government ahead of the game.
Pinnick, alongside Shehu Dikko, his second vice president, Mohammed
Sanusi, the general secretary and the national technical director Amodu Shuaibu
watched the Super Eagles train Wednesday March 23 evening and were left
impressed with the state of the pitch and the attitude of the fans.
