For an hour the country’s national police sang and danced in their honour
The Flying Eagles of Nigeria got a surprising welcome from Colombia national police when they arrived in Bogota; as members of the South American country’s police sang and danced in their honour.
The team were on their way to Armenia, the venue of their group stage encounters in the FIFA U-20 World Cup starting on Sunday.
Players and officials joined in the dancing, which went on for almost an hour, with some suggesting that the music was similar to the Tiv’s of Benue State.
Nigeria are billed to play the Group stages of the competition in Armenia but had to stop over for a connecting flight in Bogota.
Once aboard the Fokker 50, which was taking the team on the 40 minutes journey, celebration took a scary turn, as the pilot, in salutation, tossed the plane in the air several times.
In Armenia, a singing welcome party was waiting to welcome the Nigerian crew.
The Flying Eagles are logged in Group D alongside Saudi Arabia, Croatia and Guatemala, their first opponent in the championships.
They are booked to stay at the Las Camelias Hotel.
