The Saudi Arabian authorities have arrested three pilgrims from Kwara for alleged possession of substance suspected to be cocaine.
Hajia Fatima Abolore-Jimoh, the Executive Secretary, Kwara Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board, confirmed the arrest on Wednesday from Saudi Arabia in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
She said the three pilgrims, who were among the first batch of 505 Pilgrims from Kwara, were arrested in Madina by Saudi Arabia security operatives.
The executive secretary, who did not disclose the identities of the three suspects, said they were still in the custody of Saudi Arabian authorities.
Abolore-Jimoh said the Saudi Arabian law would certainly take its course on the three suspected drug traffickers.
She described the arrest as unfortunate and painful in spite of several appeals to them to be good ambassadors of Kwara and Nigeria.
The executive secretary said that other pilgrims from the state were still in Madinnah, hale, healthy and in good spirit in spite of the unfortunate incident.
Evil religion, cursed from the beginning

I am not an Igbo but an Igbo lover, the person whom is blowing up this matter is Onyeka Gift Ijeh by first calling de Joe Intl a mumu
De Joe Int’l that’s what am talking about, thank God you know am older than you and this is more reason why you should not insult me for my write ups, you mean because to you I wrote the my comment like primary 6 yr old then you have the right to insult me even knowing fully well am older than you? Is this your height of insanity? Ok let’s say I make my comment like a primary 6 yr old can’t you correct me in orderly manner, did your brain told you to correct me by insulting me? Do you correct people on their mistakes or people you think that comment like primary 6 yr old by insulting them? It’s a shame, can’t you address someone respectively to hit your point home? Is this the way you correct those you know are older than you? Then it shows you don’t have respect. May your tongue testify against you since you know am older than you but have the gut to insult me. I commented like a 6 yrs old finish,then the rest from you was insult. I dare not insult my older ones no matter their comments but I can correct them in respectively manner in order to take accept correction. But when you carry on this way, insulting people you’re making enemies and believe me you don’t know tomorrow, you may meet those you have offended on Facebook face to face, it may sound unbelievable but this people maybe the ones God has apportion to help you but how will you deal with the situation knowing that your tongue has strayed? Be careful, I repeat with capital letters, BE CAREFUL. The world revolves around us.
It’s not only financial help one looks for.
The economy is really bad

I only copied what he said to me and send it back to him.

Get your brain fixed and read again
The should not blem those pilgrims too much ,this hardship in nigeria push some people to look for way to get money.
Guys here we go again. Government can allow us drink water and drop cup. We run to social media to make ourselves happy yet u people will not allow someone be. That 3 Muslims carried drugs does it mean the entire Muslims are bad. That someone from a particular tribe or religion committed a crime doesn’t mean the entire people are bad. Let’s stop inciting the peace of this country. Abeg., please.. God bless us all.

U mean they re d only one dat the hardship in the country is affecting. Moreover, if it is hardship, how come they get money to travel to hajj? They are disgrace to there family nd the country as a whole.
De Joe Int’l I agree with you,i have seen news where igbos were caught up in drug cases and i saw the kind of comments coming from Nigerian,some of them even claimed that every successful Igbo man made their money through drugs and kidnapping, so you shouldn’t have wasted your time arguing with this guy,you should have ignored him from his first comment.
They have been doing it for long time
This guy is high….
The law should be applied.
Onyeka Gift Ijeh we are not dragging age here, I said it openly that you are older than me, but does that make me less a man than you? I am a proud family man at 28, I can boast of many things, if I die today I even won’t regret, I have seen life. Your age doesn’t make you more man than me, there is nothing you have seen that I haven’t seen, I even may have seen more than you, you commented like a kid then I stated it as it is that your comment has no meaning it is pointless, it looks like a comment of a kid, I even didn’t look at your pics I just commented as it is. Nwanne stop bragging about age my main point is still the same that you are not real Igbo, some of your previous comments has proved me right. What amazes me is how you are talking about Facebook giving me opportunity that’s I can’t say it to you face to face, like you are something else, look I deal with men when I say men I mean real men, you can only intimidate village champion not me because am equal to task. It’s not how far or how old, it is how well… You said I insulted you but you have done worst, there no difference between us because both of us doesn’t have respect…
Peter Okoye nwanne leave him, he is not real Igbo, I have already told him that and he knew it..,
You’re right my sister let tjem talk about Muslim buy islam they growing up and very peace religion
So Muslims do drugs trafficking, hmmmm I can’t believe it!
Hahahah guy u funny
No be government subsidized the journey there.
Who is the more better lol ,,
You’re ignorant and childish, the way you assume situation reveal you know nothing, you said there’s nothing I have seen you haven’t seen and yet you don’t know me lol. Well thank God you know you don’t have respect, am glad your little brain could allow you to know you don’t have respect.
De Joe Int’l This is today’s date
19/08/2016
Tag this date to your brain so you don’t forget it.This date shall continue to be my next reply to you until it’s fully installed into your brain cell. I will not make any other comment except this date. In years to come, something will happen then you will immediately remember this date. It will be a very big lesson to you. You will preach to people about this incident.

They are not in Saudi Arabia to perform a muslim right,rather they went on business trip on disguise
Oh what’s new.
Yu lie, we are not perfect we made mistakes and that’s why always we are asking Allah forgivenes
Where are all d Muslims?
Did I had you said kwara is not Hausa because of cocain but if is about oil then jegawa will be Niger delta right. You better tell the shehu of Kano that no religion is above crime and accept your wrong. I see this as karma and am sure this is not there first time. If they had succeeded then you will see them answer alhaji may kwudi.

Funny how we don’t see headlines such that “three Jewish”.. or “three Christians”..
Everyone nowadays fight Islam and fight Muslims..
Haters will hate and we “muslims” don’t give a damn about it..
We don’t fight u Coz DON’T CARE.. our religion told us not to fight ppl’s faith even if wrong
But you support the “Kwara” written there.
That is what they have been doing Muslims indeed, but there are good ones though
