The government of Saudi Arabia
yesterday Thursday September 27th deported another batch of 512 pilgrims to
Nigeria, a day after deporting 171 women.
The
Saudi government detained and eventually deported these women who went to the
country for the 2012 Hajj, because they were not accompanied by approved male
guardians which they say is
against laid down rules of their kingdom. Over one thousand Nigerian female
pilgrims were detained at the Abdul-Aziz International Airport and King Fahd Airport in Jeddah and Medina before they started
gradually deporting them into Nigeria via Kano and Sokoto airports.
