900 Muslim Pilgrims Said To Have Absconded In 2017 – NAHCON Reports

‘900 Muslim Pilgrims Absconded In 2017’ – NAHCON Reveals
The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has revealed that 900 Nigerians absconded after the 2017 hajj.

The NAHCON’s Commissioner in charge of Policy, Personnel Management and Finance, Mr. Yusuf Adebayo, told stakeholders at a meeting in Lagos yesterday that such absconding pilgrims were only wasting their time as they would be found out sooner or later by the Saudi authorities.

“We have also observed that about 900 Nigerians did not return with their state contingents after the 2017 pilgrimage; some did not even perform the hajj rites before absconding,” he said.

Adebayo urged pilgrims to always adhere strictly to the regulations guarding hajj exercise so as to enjoy full spiritual benefits of the exercise.
He further advised intending pilgrims for the 2018 Hajj to make early preparation to avoid unnecessary challenges, saying “most of the challenges we usually face are due to late preparation and the Saudi authorities have taken stringent steps to ensure that they do not recur in 2018.”

Kola Abiola, the eldest son of Late Chief MKO Abiola, has finally spoken on his alleged marriage to Aisha Babangida, the eldest daughter of Nigeria’s former Military President Gen. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB). IBB and MKO Abiola were friends until the latter contested and won the June 12, 1993, presidential election, but the former would later cancel the election. Their relationship went sour, but before the annulment, Kola and Aisha were allegedly dating. At a time, it was speculated that they secretly got married.
