Nigeria and Fenerbahce striker Emmanuel Emenike was mobbed on arrival at the Murtala Mohammed international airport enroute joining his other Super Eagles teammates in Abuja

The fans came however, to show their support for the 27 year-old who has been out of scoring form since the new season begun

One of the fans told AfricanFootball:

While another said:"

Nigeria play Sudan in Omdurman on Saturday in a must-win AFCON qualifier which could hold the fate of the African champions for next year’s tournament.

Sudan, host of Saturday's AFCON qualifier, have moved the tie to a new ground in Khartoum

The match which was first billed to hold in Omdurman will now be played at the Municipal stadium in the country's capital, since it has an artificial turf

AfricanFootbal reports that Nigeria may have to leave on a charter flight on the advise of the coach; which means the Super Eagles may either stop in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
