Five members of the Super Falcons were able to escape a
possible plane crash ahead of this year’s African Women’s Cup of Nations final.
The players were forced to travel by road from Duoala
to Yaounde on Wednesday, Novemver 30, as the aircraft they were meant to
fly with developed electrical fault shortly before take off, according to Nigerian
Bulletin.
It was gathered the team was scheduled to leave Douala at
9am, for a 45-minute flight to Yaounde but CAF could not secure seats for the
players.
Florence Omagbemi’s ladies arrived at the airport, along
with their South African counterparts who play Ghana’s Black Queens in
third-place match.
On getting to Douala airport, CAF officials could not secure
enough seats for the entire Nigerian team on one plane and the remaining five
were checked in for another flight which eventually did not fly.
The trip is four hours by road.
