S’Arabia police nabs Nigerian pilgrim for picking unknown item

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.
