A female pilgrim from Bauchi has been left in Saudi Arabia
following the loss of her Passport, according to Alhaji Abdullahi
Hardawa, Executive Secretary, Bauchi State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare
Board.

Bauchi, after the arrival of the last flight that brought back the
pilgrims, said that the unnamed pilgrim was from Tafawa Balewa Local
Government Area.

lost her Passport; we left her behind in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
because she lost her Passport,” he said.

home.

commended pilgrims from Nigeria for exhibiting good conduct throughout
their stay in the Holy Land.

support to the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria during the
