25 Nigerian Hajj Pilgrims Arrested For robbery In Saudi by sheniqua: 5:02pm On Oct 22, 2013
At least 25 Nigerians ostensibly in Saudi Arabia to perform this year’s Hajj have been arrested for stealing.

The thieves, whose identities were yet to be disclosed, “but all with prior criminal records, have been arrested in Makkah,” according to Saudi Gazette, quoting Makkah police spokesman, Lt.-Col. Abdul Mohsin Al-Maiman.

“The thieves robbed pilgrims inside the grand mosque and broke into several shops and houses in Makkah. Several members of the gang were arrested red-handed and they guided the police to other members, who were hiding in an old building on Al-Mansour St.

“No fewer than 80 cell phones and over SR50, 000 in currency were seized from them,” the report said. About 1.38 million pilgrims from Nigeria and 117 other countries are performing the Hajj this year, according to Saudi Minister of Interior and Chairman of the Supreme Hajj Committee, Prince Muhammad Bin Naif.

Saudi Gazette quoted Prince Muhammad as saying that of the 1, 379, 531 foreign pilgrims, 752, 424 were men representing 55 per cent and 627, 107 were women forming 45 percent of the pilgrims.

“The number of pilgrims this year was less by 377, 439 (about 21 per cent) compared to last year,” the paper said. “The number of pilgrims who arrived by air was over 1.29 million. Over 72, 000 pilgrims arrived by sea and 14, 898 by land,” it added.

Saudi officials had enuff of their crap last year and deported over 300 women.

A friend of mine confided in me that there are alot of Nigerian women in Saudi who ended up in concubinage from illicit relations which resulted in getting pregnant.

Also, the pioneer Dubai business women (mostly from a particular region) were actually hoes who just go from shop to shops proposing sex to the arab shop keepers. arab men are sex starved and a woman coming into their shop telling him he can have sex with her behind the counter for just 20 dollars was a "good day" thing

Shebi they are supposed to be fasting during hajj
What energy does a fasting individual have to break into stores and steal?
See how our people dey go there with agenda
They will hide amala and akpu in their portmanteau and eat belleful and form robbery gangs in the Muslim holy land terrorizing hajj attendants.
Any person that returns from hajj with one hand missing should be arrested for disgracing the nation.

Must Nigerians represent their political ogas at the top anywhere they visit? Sharia should be applied in this case. NO TIME!
