While training on Tuesday
evening at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna; hundreds of youth allegedly mobbed
Eagles stars Mikel Obi, Ahmed Musa and Efe Ambrose.
Chelsea star Mikel was also
mobbed by fans when the team trained in Abuja earlier in the day.
Celtic defender Ambrose was
returning to the city when he was born and where he went on to captain the
city’s biggest club, Kaduna United. The fans wanted to touch the players they
often watch in action with their European clubs on television and also take
pictures and selfies with them.
There were a large number
of fans at the first training in Kaduna, the northern Nigerian town where
Nigeria will host Egypt on Friday in a crucial AFCON qualifier with a reverse
clash in Alexandria four days later.
The
20,000-capacity Ahmadu Bello Stadium is expected to be full on Friday with the
highest gate fee being N1,000.
