Super Eagles forward Akor Adams has returned to the national team’s camp after making a short, approved visit to his mother, who is currently receiving medical care in Fès, Morocco.
The development follows an emotional moment during Nigeria’s Round of 16 encounter with Mozambique at the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. On the eve of that fixture, Adams’ mother reportedly fell ill, preventing her from attending the match despite being in Morocco to support her son.
After the game, the 25-year-old striker revealed that his mother’s health condition kept her away from the stadium, sparking concern among fans. With the consent of team officials, Adams was allowed a brief absence from camp to check on her wellbeing.
Super Eagles team administrator, Dayo Enebi Achor, confirmed that the player’s visit was short and did not disrupt team activities. According to him, Adams returned to the squad in under an hour after seeing his hospitalised mother in Fès.
