Nigeria are set for a double clash against Libya, with the first fixture taking place on Friday evening at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
Libya landed in Nigeria earlier this week, but their captain, Faisal Al-Badri, has since accused the Super Eagles of poor treatment upon their arrival.
According to Soccernet.ng, Al-Badri voiced his complaints via Facebook, writing: "We left the hotel at six in the morning, and the plane took off at nine. The flight took four hours, and thus we arrived in Nigeria at one in the afternoon, Libyan time.
"Our luggage was searched inside the plane for an hour, and we were also delayed in transportation from one city to another for three hours, even though we travelled on a private plane, and there was an airport close to the city we wanted to play in.
"We later contacted the company responsible for transporting and securing the mission, but they informed us that there was no police patrol at the time, which increased the risk.
"After a long time, three non-air-conditioned minibuses and a police car arrived, in addition to two cars from the Libyan embassy."
In response, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has confirmed they are unmoved by the allegations made by Al-Badri, and insisted that the visitors failed to communicate in timely fashion regarding their travels.
"We were only informed three hours before their arrival that they were landing in Port Harcourt, not Uyo as expected," Emmanuel Ayanbunmi, the NFF's assistant director of protocol, said.
"On Monday, October 7th, I spoke at length with the LFF's General Secretary, and he never indicated that the team would arrive the next day. We only found out an hour after they were airborne.
"If they travelled on buses without air-conditioning, that's entirely their own doing.
"We provided adequate security, and their complaints and threats do not concern us."
