Hajj: Kaduna pilgrims return home from Saudi Arabia
According to the Kaduna State Pilgrims Welfare Agency, it has already returned 1,584 pilgrims from Saudi Arabia after they completed the 2022 Hajj.

This was said by Malam Salisu Anchau, the agency's public relations officer, during a Monday news conference in Kaduna.

The most recent batch, according to Anchau, arrived at the Kaduna International Airport on Sunday at around 1:52 p.m. The pilgrims were conveyed in groups, he added.

He claims that there are 924 pilgrims left, and they will be flown back to their country of origin in the following two flights.

But he added that two pilgrims from the state perished in Saudi Arabia while undertaking the Holy Pilgrimage.

“We lost two pilgrims -one Asiya Aminu from Zaria Local Government Area (LGA) who died during Arafat and one Maryam Ahmad from Igabi LGA who died after Arafat,” he said.

The pilgrims from Igabi, Zaria, Ikara, Giwa, Soba, Lere, Kagarko, Kaduna North, Kudan, Kaura, Zangon Kataf, and Sanga LGA, according to him, were among those that went home.

Other people came from the LGAs of Kachia, Chikun, Sabon Gari, Kubau, Kauru, and Jaba.
