HAJJ: Two Oyo pilgrims detained by Saudi Arabia for drug trafficking



Two of the 1,191 pilgrims from Oyo State who performed this year’s Hajj were detained by the Saudi Arabian authorities for a drug-related offence.

Hajj
Secretary, Oyo State Pilgrims Welfare Board, Alhaji Adeleke AbdulKareem, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan on Monday.


Abdulkareem said the affected pilgrims were females, adding that one of them escaped while the other was still in detention.

He said the drug found with the pilgrims was Tramador, a contraband in Saudi Arabia, which the pilgrims had been warned against.

The secretary also said two other pilgrims from the state died due to ill health before Arafat Day.

Abdulkareem said the last batch of pilgrims from the state arrived Nigeria on October 11.

He warned pilgrims to always comply with the rules and regulation of the Saudi authorities to avoid being arrested or tarnishing the country’s image.

    If you have your own business, you understand how difficult it is to make ends meet especially if your business is not doing that great. The stress has reached above your head and it seems you cannot do to anything right to make your business pick up where it left off. It is very important for a business owner like you to always be on the right track when it comes to marketing and promoting your products and services because once you let go of any chance, it will be difficult to come back.
