…1,500 Policemen On Duty For Match
Authorities are leaving nothing to chance when Nigeria’s Super Eagles meet Kenya’s Harambee Stars today in Nairobi.
Government sources say Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta or Vice President William Ruto would be a special guest of honour at the big match.
As a result, sources close to the Football Kenya Federation stated that tight security is being put in place for the match, with more than 1 500 policemen to be on duty at the Moi International Sports Centre.
Nigeria will also have some heavyweight representation of their own.
On Sunday evening, Nigeria’s High Commissioner to Kenya, Ambassador Akin Oyateru flew into Nairobi from official assignment abroad.
He quickly welcomed the advance party of the Nigeria Football Federation and instructed mission staff to provide the team with full support.
Nigeria Football Federation President, Aminu Maigari landed in Nairobi with a delegation from Nigeria aboard a Kenyan Airways flight yesterday.
