2024 Hajj: You’ll fly tonight, Kwara board tells intending pilgrims
Kwara State Muslim Pilgrims’ Board has assured the last batch of intending pilgrims, who were due to be flown last night June 6, will be airlifted tonight June 7.
SolaceBase had reported the intending pilgrims protested on Friday over the delay entertaining fear that they may miss the hajj exercise.
It could be recalled that the last batch of intending pilgrims had already boarded the aircraft last night before engineers spotted some minor issues in one of its wings.
A statement issued by Abdulsalam Abdul Kadir, Executive Secretary, Kwara State Muslim Pilgrims’ Board, on Friday said the repair is still being done in compliance with aviation safety protocols.
The statement said however, a new aircraft will land in Ilorin in the next few hours to airlift the pilgrims.
‘’The board has been working with the airline and other stakeholders to ensure that our pilgrims are airlifted within good time, while officials and leadership of the state contingent are all on the ground to give timely communication and care as things unfold,’’ the statement said.

‘’We ask Allah to make things easy for all, grant them journey mercies, and accept their holy pilgrimage.’’
