A 40-man contingent of Enyimba International FC have received the Greenwich from the Moroccan authorities to land in their country with the Nigerian giants finally flying out Tuesday afternoon.
The Moroccan aviation authorities had engaged in hide-and-seek game with the Nigerian champions over landing permit related issues, thus, delaying the People's Elephants from traveling out Monday evening aboard their Air Peace airline chattered flight.
But at noon on Tuesday, the Nigerians received positive signal from Morocco to land in their facility.
"We've finally received the permission to land in Morocco", an official gleefully told Exclusivenews.com.ng at 12:55pm Tuesday.
"We're already boarding, having gone through the Immigration protocol", the official said.
At the heat of the diplomatic imbroglio, Enyimba had written to CAF informing them of the development.
The People's Elephant equally demanded CAF to effect a Shift in the date of the match in view of the situation on ground.
CAF is understood to be yet to respond to the Enyimba request.
"Whether the match will still hold tomorrow as scheduled, I do not yet know", responds the senior Enyimba management official following Exclusivenews.com.ng inquest.
"But we've written to them, demanding amongst other things, a Shift in the date of the match.
"But as we speak, we're yet to get any response from them", the Enyimba official said.
