Hajj: Nigerian pilgrim in custody for picking unidetified item at sacred place
Nigerian
pilgrim in Makkah, Saudi Arabia was reportedly arrested after he was spotted on
a CCTV camera picking unidentified item on ground at the sacred place (Harami).
The pilgrim
whose name was not mentioned was said to have been taken to yet to be identified
place by the security operatives.
Speaking to
the Voice of America on the development, Nigerian ambassador to Saudi Arabia
Alhaji Sani Yunusa said the pilgrim was yet to be traced and thus warned others
from picking anything within the holy place.
‘’Up till
sunset I have tried to see him but I could not, where he is exactly that I do
not know; we went round various police stations we couldn’t find him. So please
our people should be sensitized not to pick anything they see within the sacred
place for the sake of our reputation and integrity'' he said.
