According to a news report from Voice of Nigeria, the second batch of pilgrims from Kwara State, North Central Nigeria, who performed this year’s pilgrimage to the Holy Land have safely returned to Ilorin, the state’s capital.

The 392 pilgrims arrived at the Babatunde Idiagbon International Airport, Ilorin, at exactly 2:52 pm, receiving a warm welcome from friends and family.

The pilgrims were led by three officials of the State’s Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board: Shuaib Kawu, Haruna Musa, and Khadijat Abtawwy.

It is worth noting that a total of 3,102 pilgrims from Kwara State participated in this year’s holy pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
