Ethiopia were far from being good hosts to the African champions, who arrived in the East African country on the eve of their key clash, which went down at the National Stadium in Addis Ababa and the NFF have thus reported the matter to appropriate authorities with the belief that decisive action will be taken
Telegraph also gathered that aside from reporting to FIFA security team, the Ethiopian Police were also intimated with the ordeal of the Nigerian delegation by Eagles CSO, ACP Baba Abubakar.
Despite not enduring hostilities from Ethiopia, the NFF, on their part, have promised to tow a different line as they plan to give the Wayla Antelopes – as well as the entire delegation from Ethiopia coming for the final leg on November 16, 2013 - the best of Nigerian hospitality.
The return leg match will take place at the UJ Esuene stadium in Calabar, where the Eagles hope to complete the task of qualifying for the Brazil 2014 World Cup after holding a healthy 2-1 advantage from the first leg away from home.
