(CNN) -- Togo's national football team are on their way home, two days after a deadly attack on their team bus at the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola. Television pictures of the squad and officials leaving their hotel in Cabinda were aired on Eurosport and showed a number of leading players, including captain Emmanuel Adebayor arriving at the airport for the flight home. Earlier, Togolese Prime Minister Gilbert Houngbo told the west African country's news agency that the team "must return" after the ambush by gunmen left an assistant coach and the squad's communication officer dead. At least seven others were injured in the attack which occurred Friday in the  enclave of Cabinda near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
