The Gabonese team remained stalled at the Gambia’s Banjul airport from Sunday night to Monday morning, hours before the two teams met, sparking great anger among the mission.
The airport authorities kept the players’ passports and officials from the Gambia federation were not present to finalize all the arrangements.
“I want to know why the Gambia has kept our passports and left us at the airport. Are we hostages? Will you close your eyes? I want to see the next episode of this film,” Gabonese captain Pierre Emerick Aubameyang wrote in your account on the social network.
@CAF_Online I just want to know why the Gambia keeps our passports for hours and they keep us at the airport. Are we hostages or what? 🤣 Are you going to close your eyes? Do you want to see the next episode of this movie?

The Arsenal star added: “What happened will not diminish our resolve, but people need to know what happened, especially because they have those responsibilities.”
“We are in 2020 and we want Africa to grow, this is not how we will get there,” he said.
It will not discourage us but people should know and above all that the @CAF_Online assume these responsibilities.
