Nasarawa pilgrim returns N.5m to Afghan mate, gets free hajj seat

A pilgrim from Nasarawa State Mallam Suleiman Bello has been rewarded with a free seat for the 2016 hajj after he returned about half a million Naira he found in Ka'aba, Makkah to the owner, an Afghanistani pilgrim, Alhaji Mosa Gousdin.

According to Daily Trust, Bello found the bag containing the money while doing Tawaf (circumambulation) in Ka'aba. The money was in various denominations. $2,345 (N466, 655), SR303 Saudi Riyal (N16, 076.84) and 3,020 Afghanistan currency (N9, 370.64) totaling N492, 102.44.

The Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) Abdullahi Mukhtar Mohammed who handed over the money to the owner in the presence of other Afghan officials in Nigeria's Makkah office, announced a free seat for the pilgrim for next year's hajj as a way of rewarding for his exemplary attitude.

"He (Bello) chose to fear Allah knowing he would account to Allah on the Day of Judgement. He chose to be a good ambassador of Nigeria. He took the property to his state pilgrim officials and they brought it to us so that we can return it to the owner. This shows that Nigerians are honest and God-fearing," Mohammed said.

Bello said he was contented and never tempted to go away with the money.

      The Federal Government has no business funding pilgrimages to Mecca or Jerusalem. If Buhari doesn't cancel these fundings, I won't take him serious.

      @okereke. So water killed some people, should be a lesson for you to stop drinking water for fear of death??? Besides, who is immune to death in ds lyf? D kind of death dt will kill u, no one knows, d place and time is also unknown to anyone except the giver and taker of life. Tell me dt people who dnt go to hajj dnt die??? Please, get some sense nd reason before talking or typing. Ur face looks too good for the kind of reasoning sense u possess . Ds message is also for all dose with shallow reasoning like you. Ve a blessed day.

    They are offering him death ticket. So people will still go hajj next year after many lives wasted this year? Muslims are donkeys that can never learn their lessons in the name of worshiping Allah
