The State Public Relations Officer of the Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board, Baba Hamza Muri, said the board had activated relevant mechanisms to find the missing female pilgrim.

Muri said that the “National Hajj Commission of Nigeria has assured that they will do everything humanly possible to help us find her.”

He said the state completed the 2022 Hajj successfully with the arrival of the last batch of 131 pilgrims from the kingdom of Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

“The state pilgrims began their journey back home after the completion of the Hajj rites with 536 pilgrims last Saturday; the board is elated that the exercise was successful," Murj said.

Some of the pilgrims who spoke with Daily Post, described the exercise as one of the best the board has ever carried out in the state.
