A Nigerian pilgrim, simply identified as Hajiya Zainab from
Plateau State, has returned a missing sum of $5,000 amounting to over 8 million
to its rightful owner, a Russian pilgrim, in Makkah.
Hajiya Zainab reportedly found the money shortly after
completing her prayers at Masjidul Haram. Rather than keep the money for
herself, she promptly reported to authorities.
The co-ordinated efforts of the National Hajj Commission of
Nigeria (NAHCON) and Saudi authorities led to the successful identification of
the rightful owner.
Hon. Daiyabu Dauda, Executive Secretary of the Plateau State
Pilgrims Board, confirmed the development and commended Zainab’s action.
“She demonstrated exceptional integrity and honesty. What
she did is a remarkable act of kindness that many will find difficult to do,”
Dauda said.
The National Hajj Commission has also expressed pride in
Zainab’s conduct, noting that her action exemplifies the values that Nigerian
pilgrims are expected to uphold.
