Three Nigerian pilgrims from
Delta state reportedly absconded during pilgrimage in Israel.
According to Channels TV, Ifeanyi
Okowa, governor of the state, described the incident as embarrassing, saying he
was informed through a text message.
The governor, who said he had not
confirmed the incident, promised to carry out an investigation.
“From next year, we do not want
to have the incidences of people absconding in Israel. It is something that is
becoming worrisome. I just got a text. I have not been able to confirm but I
want to investigate that three persons absconded,” he was quoted to have said.
“We are going to dig it up in its
roots to find out who recommended the pilgrims. It is very embarrassing, I do
not expect that from Delta state.”
He added that henceforth the
process of selection and screening of Christian pilgrims from Delta would be
thorough to ensure trust and responsibility.
Pilgrims from different parts of
the world visit Jerusalem, regarded as Holy land, every year.
