2018 Hajj: Nigerians Scammed In Saudi Arabia by akelicious(m): 7:19am On Aug 10, 2018 |
Eight pilgrims from Kebbi have fallen prey to the nefarious activities of some Saudi-based fraudsters in Madinah, losing their Basic Traveling Allowances (BTA). NAN reports that the fraudsters, mostly Nigerians resident in the Holy land illegally often gained access to Nigerian pilgrims outside their hotel accommodation, where they lured their unsuspecting victims into shady business transactions. The leader of Kebbi State’s pilgrims in Madinah, Abubakar Argungu, confirmed this to newsmen on Thursday in Madinah. He lamented that illegal money changers deceived the pilgrims, especially the elderly people, and dispossessed them of their cash. “Our major concern this year is that “Tikaris” (illegal residents) have been cheating and stealing our pilgrims’ money. Eight of our pilgrims were defrauded of their BTAs.” He decried the attitude of the state officials who abandoned their pilgrims to their fate on arrival in the Holy land. Argungu appealed to state governments to always appoint credible officials with the fear of God to take care of pilgrims’ welfare. He also urged the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCON, to devise measures to protect pilgrims who engaged in “tooth cap glitz” and money exchange. “Government should do this like it did by designating a single bank to collect fees for sacrificial animals during the Hajj”, the official said. http://www.akelicious.net/2018/08/2018-hajj-nigerians-scammed-in-saudi.html
