       – Five members of the Super Falcons escaped death by the
       whiskers as airctaft emits smoke
       – The players were eventually forced to travel by road from
       Doula to Yaounde
       – Nigeria face hosts Cameroon in the final of the 2016 African
       Women’s Championship
       Five members of the Super Falcons were able to escape a possible
       plane crash ahead of this year’s African Women’s Cup of Nations
       final.
       Nigerian Bulletin reports that the players were forced to travel
       by road from Duoala to Yaounde on Wednesday, Novemver 30, as the
       aircraft they were meant to fly with developed electrical fault
       shortly before take off.
       Nigeria face hosts Cameroon in the final of the 2016 AWCON
       tournament after defeating South Africa 1 – 0 in their
       semi-final clash
       It was gathered the team was scheduled to leave Douala at 9am,
       for a 45-minute flight to Yaounde but CAF could not secure seats
       for the players.
       Florence Omagbemi’s ladies arrived at the airport, along with
       their South African counterparts who play Ghana’s Black Queens
       in third-place match.
       On getting to Douala airport, CAF officials could not secure
       enough seats for the entire Nigerian team on one plane and the
       remaining five were checked in for another flight which
       eventually did not fly. The trip is four hours by road.
       “The team experienced some delay at the airport, but at the end,
       all the players and officials could not travel together in one
       plane because it was a small aircraft which could not
       accommodate both Nigeria and the South African team at the same
       time.
       As a result, five members of the team were left behind,” a
       member of the team told the Guardian.
       “Those five people were later checked into another plane, but
       just as they were preparing to commence the journey to Yaoundé,
       smoke started coming out from the plane due to electrical
       problem and everybody was evacuated.
       The five people had to embark on their journey by road to
       Yaounde.”
       This incident is coming less than 24 hours players of Brazilian
       club Chapecoense were involved in a plane crash on their way to
       the Copa Sudemerica final against Atletico Naconial match in
       Colombia.
