The Saudi Arabian authorities have prevented the Kaduna-based Islamic cleric Sheikh Gumi from performing the 2025 Hajj exercise, according to report by The PUNCH.
In a post on his Facebook page on Monday, the cleric confirmed that he had returned to the country, adding that the Saudi authorities were “uncomfortable” with his presence in the Holy Land, despite having issued him a visa.
He further disclosed that the Nigerian authorities had pledged to immediately take up the issues with the Saudi authorities while calling for prayers for the safe return of other pilgrims and the peace and prosperity of Nigeria.
“I’m now free to attend to my health and farming activities. We should continue to pray for the safe return of all pilgrims, peace and prosperity for our dear nation.”
