Don’t Blame Anybody for Detained Female Pilgrims –Chief Imam

The Chief Imam of Abuja, Alhaji Musa Muhammed, on Friday called on Nigerians, especially Muslims, to stop blaming anybody or group for the detention and the ongoing deportation of Nigerian female pilgrims from Saudi Arabia.

Muhammed made the call in his sermon at a special Juma’at prayer held at the National Mosque, Abuja, as part of activities marking the nation’s 52nd Independence Anniversary.

Although he frowned at the development, he gave an assurance that God would intervene in the problem. He expressed the hope that notwithstanding the current situation, all affected pilgrims would perform the pilgrimage.

He further disclosed that efforts were ongoing to address the issue.
