NAHCON, NDLEA Partner towards drug-incident-free
Pilgrimage
The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) commends the
effort of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for
unraveling the drug trafficking circle of criminals notorious for
planting drugs in innocent travelers’ luggage thereby implicating
them in a crime they know nothing about.
The two agencies will continue to work together in ensuring a
drug-incident-free Umrah season and Hajj 2019 period.
Thankfully, this discovery has given hope for the redemption of
Zainab Habibu Aliyu from incarceration, the young lady who pleaded
ignorance of a drug baggage tagged in her name. Consequently, the
Commission has ordered its lawyers in Saudi Arabia to compliment
efforts of the Nigerian mission in the Kingdom in securing Zainab’s
timely release back to the country.
Furthermore, the Commission, in collaboration with sister
agencies, will deploy the necessary staff and technology at Hajj
departure centers nationwide to ensure security of pilgrims and
their luggage against abuse and drug peddling in any guise.
