The session was conducted in the rain under the supervision of Head Coach Stephen Keshi.
Media Officer of the team, Toyin Ibitoye, said that the remaining players were expected to arrive camp last night.
He, however, said Aaron Samuel and Ahmed Musa who had the permission of coach to arrive later because of `some peculiar factors’.
Ibitoye said four Warri Wolves players led by Azubuike Egwuekwe left the team’s camp yesterday to join their teammates for their continental engagement.


The other players are Daniel Akpeyi, Solomon Kwambe and Gbolahan Salami.
The quartet is expected to feature for Wolves against AC Leopards of Congo Brazzaville, in the Cup play-off, second leg of CAF Confederation match on Saturday at the Warri City Stadium.
Meanwhile, Volyn of Ukraine forward, Babatunde Michael, has said Nigeria’s Super Eagles wish to start their AFCON 2017 qualifying campaign on a high by beating Chad.


"There are no minnows anymore in football, so the question of underrating any side does not come in,” he said.
“We are focused to start on a high and that is getting the available three points in our first game."
Michael also expressed delight on his return to the national team.


“I am very happy to be back to the team.
"It was really a difficult time for me after the World Cup going in and out of injuries but now that am back and better, I am ready to give 200 per cent to ensure that we start our campaign on a high," concludes Michael.
