Nigeria’s flag bearers at this year’s Confederation of African Football (CAF), Kano Pillars flew out of the country last  night to Morocco to honour their postponed continental Champions League first round, first leg match with Moghreb Athletic Tetouan of Morocco.

A 36-man delegation which was led by former NFF President Ibrahim Galadima travelled aboard an Egypt Air flight from Kano to Cairo, where they will connect another flight to Casablanca, before a midnight flight from Casablanca to Tetouan today.

The match is scheduled for Saturday, March 21.

The Confederation of African Football, acting on a plea from the Nigeria Football Federation, granted a one-week postponement of the first leg affair following an armed robbery attack on the Nigerian champions that left five players injured.

CAF  has already informed the NFF that the second leg of the fixture will take place as scheduled at the sani abacha stadium, kano on saturday, march 28.
