Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former Super Eagles goalkeeper and media officer, Idah Peterside, has said that Nigeria\u2019s Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has been warned against returning to South Africa.<\/p>\n

He said this after the Super Eagles beat South Africa 4-2 on penalties in the semifinal of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n

Nwabali saved two penalties as Nigeria defeated South Africa to move to the final where they will lock horns with the Elephants of Ivory Coast in Sunday\u2019s showpiece at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium, Abidjan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not gotten some messages where people are sending messages to the goalkeeper threatening him. I heard some people were telling him, don\u2019t come back to South Africa since you don\u2019t want us to score payback when your team is playing,\u201d he said in a viral video shared on X. (Sic).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is unacceptable. We have not heard of any violence but just threats. They have been threatening him and some people.\u201d<\/p>\n
