He said:”This will be on the nights of Thursday and Friday respectively for those leaving on Friday and Saturday.

“The Chairman of the State Hajj Commission, Shaikh Luqmam Imam Abdullahi, has strongly admonished the pilgrims to strictly comply with the NAHCON’S luggage policy as stipulated by the Airliners to avoid all forms of unnecessary delay resulting from non-compliance on the part of the pilgrims.

“He wished them acceptable Hajj.”
