Egyptian embassy has reportedly denied visas to Nigerians traveling to the north African nation ahead of Tuesday\u2019s return leg of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and the Pharaohs of Egypt.<\/p>\n

The match, which is the second leg of an earlier encounter in Kaduna is a must win for the Eagles, held in a one-all match in Nigeria last Friday.<\/p>\n

Without the visa, members of the Nigerian Supporters Club would not have the opportunity to support the Super Eagles in Alexandria, Egypt.<\/p>\n

President General of the Nigerian Football and Other Sports Supporters Club, Dr. Rafiu Ladipo is worried about the development.<\/p>

According to Ladipo, the Egyptian embassy is deploying a means of denying the Nigerians the needed support to win the match on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an Egyptian airliner has been hijacked by at least one hijacker.<\/p>\n

The aircraft has been diverted and landed in Turkey. The hijacker is yet to make any demand.<\/p>\n
