Sports journalist Khairi Al-Ghathi posted on Facebook last night that Ryad Al-Lafi, the player’s brother and manager, had told him that the family did not want to release specific information. This was because they feared for his life if more details were released to the public.

Supporters of the club had threatened to organise large protests in the capital’s Martyrs’ Square tomorrow.

The club also suspended many of its activities in fury at the abduction.

A talented forward, Lafi has represented the Libyan national team eight times. He previously played in Portugal.

Meanwhile, 218 TV channel photographer Mohamed Masali, who was also seized yesterday has likewise been released.  It is reported that his capture was a “misunderstanding”.  His freedom said to have been secured by Hashem Bishr after he was allegedly taken by men loyal to Abu Sleem commander Abdul Ghani Ghneiwa.
