The team decided to remain in Brazil for an extra 48 hours before leaving for their homeland.
Not all the members of the squad returned to Abuja with the squad as some of them have returned to their foreign bases or gone on an extended vacation.
The Super Eagles contested four games at the World Cup, wining one, drawing one and losing to Argentina then France.
They scored three goals at the tourney while Vincent Enyeama picked the ball from his own net on five occasions.
