The first batch of 410 pilgrims from Kebbi State who performed this year’s Hajj in Saudi Arabia are back home.
The pilgrims, from Arewa and Jega Local Government Areas, touched down at the Sir Ahmadu Bello International Airport, Birnin Kebbi, by 9.42 pm on Saturday.
Their arrival marked the commencement of home bound journey of Nigerian Pilgrims from the Holy land back home to their various states since Kebbi State was the launch pad for the airlift operation to the Hajj one month ago.
All the pilgrims who disembarked the aircraft were in good condition of health.
The Governor has been in the forefront of ensuring the smooth conduct and success of the Hajj operation.
The second batch of Pilgrims have been scheduled to land at the airport this Sunday.
