Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eye Star and Philanthropist, Queen Mercy Atang, has reacted to the much-talked-about video of Super Falcons and NCDC officials’ fall-out at Abuja airport.
There was a mild drama in the early morning hours of yesterday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, as players and officials of the Super Falcons were allegedly humiliated by officials of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) over COVID-19 test money.
On Wednesday, after securing their ticket to the 2022 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations by defeating the Lady Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire in Abidjan, the Super Falcons were held hostage for over three hours inside the airport.
The nine-time African champions had departed Abidjan a few hours after the match, which they won 1-0 and arrived at the international wing of the Abuja airport only to be held hostage by the NCDC officials, who, allegedly, insisted that all players and officials must undergo another round of routine tests and pay a certain amount of money before they would be allowed to leave the airport despite being armed with their COVID-19 test results done less than 24 hours before then.
FOOTAGE OF THE CHAOTIC SCENE
Reacting to this, Queen has joined a host of other well-meaning Nigerians to lend her voice to the plight of the super falcons stars.
