| Gov. Muhammed Abubakar |
Bauchi State Governor, Mohammed
Abubakar has warned pilgrims
from the state performing 2015 Hajj to desist from carrying illegal or prohibited
drugs to the Holy Land.
Abubakar gave the warning on Friday in Bauchi
while seeing off the first badge of 255 pilgrims at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa
International Airport, Bauchi.
He said that Saudi Arabian authorities would not
condone such act, which attracted capital punishment for such act.
He urged the pilgrims to pray for the peaceful
co-existence of the people of the state and the nation at large.
Abubakar urged them not to entertain any fear as
the state government had provided facilities and made feeding arrangements to
ease anticipated problems.
He commended officials of the State Muslims
Pilgrims Welfare Board for making concrete arrangements that facilitated the
transportation of first batch of the pilgrims to the Holy Land.
He further assured that pilgrims would be
assisted both financially and morally to ensure that they performed the rite as
exhibited by Prophet Mohammed (SAW).
