The picture says it all. Celtic and UEFA Champions League midfield star, Victor Wanyama doing his stretching exercises against a village background that is far removed from the pristine surroundings he is used in Scotland or other European capitals he has had the opportunity to grace.

As head coach Adel Amrouche leads his side to a jog to shake off jet-lag, another photo shows two stones placed to mark a goal, the irony not lost on anyone who sees the picture.

This is the hostile treatment that greeted Harambee Stars upon arrival to Lagos sparking an immediate protest letter from Football Kenya Federation (FKF) to their Nigerian counterparts ahead of their Saturday 2014 World Cup qualifier in Calabar.

Speaking to Capital Sport on the matter, Commissioner for Sport, Gordon Olouch said the Sports Ministry was already on the matter since the maltreatment extends beyond the hands of FKF.

“We are aware of what is going on and I have been in discussion with FKF on the matter. We are trying to engage our High Commission in Nigeria that is far away in Abuja to get involved.

“This treatment is unacceptable and I intend to raise the issue with the Minister and we could issue a statement later on what is going on once we get the full briefing,” Oluoch added.

Upon arrival, Adel Amrouche’s squad were led to train at AjaoEstatePrimary School in Isolo and booked into the slap dash Silver Grander hotel at Ajao Estate, hardly the ideal settings for a pub team, let alone a national side.

The estate is close to the MurtalaMohammedInternationalAirport where the team landed but the necessary facilities for a team preparing for such a high profile encounter were simply unacceptable as the pictures from Lagos herein show.
