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
Nigerian government yesterday issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the Saudi
authority to resolve the issue.
