Nigeria Latest News,Nigeria Headlines

The incident happened during the month of Ramadan, shortly before the Eid-El-Fitr (Sallah) celebration.

Thirty Nigerian citizens have been arrested in Saudi Arabia for displaying campaign posters of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the holy mosque, Kaaba, SaharaReporters learnt.The Nigerians, while on lesser Hajj, Umrah, were reportedly nabbed by the Saudi police at the holy mosque as they walk around the Kaaba with Tinubu's posters lifted up.

Instead of them to devout precious time to pray for peace to return to our country, 30 men made a mockery of our nation by lifting up a politician's posters in the holy place. Thank God, Saudi authorities were swift to have arrested them right there and then," he said.For Zainab Abdullahi, another Nigerian who was at the mosque,"the scenario was a very bad representation of Nigeria's image before the world, and I think politicians must desist from this bad behaviour".

If they are arrested because of displaying Tinubu’s posters, Tinubu should go and bail them out. From what we know about Tinubu, if we want a better Naija, he shouldn’t be on the ticket. Period. Open your eyes. Stop thinking about today!

They should be deported for it.

On a pilgrimage,madness. Ntoor !

This is Amazing, and should be dealt with accordingly.

Meerah_de_vie Please jail them immediately please them come back to this country

Good for them!

Pictures ain’t even allowed in Islam. You can’t perform salat with cloths having pictures on it. Picture display of any form ain’t allowed in Muslim praying grounds. Displaying pictures in Kaaba is wrong. Who took these people to Mecca without proper lecture or orientation?

Madness.

Inu mi iba dun ti won ba le ge won ni owo danu.

I’m sure they went there on sponsorship to do that

This is an abomination in sharia laws which attract life improvement or stoning to death.

Very good

you can imagine how stupid Nigerians are. you're campaigning for someone that has nothing to offer. infact jail them for such nonsense in another man's land.

Very good.

Lol

Very simple it's a deception to capture the hearts of our Muslim brothers. Once many of us sees such in Saudi they automatically will see him as a right choice. I hope they keep them in prison for a very long time

Good one!!!

2023: Nigerian politicians take campaigns to Saudi holy placesAs the 2023 general elections inches closer, Nigerian politicians are breaking new grounds to further their chances of achieving their aspirations. It is Stupidity at the highest level People need to understand that such act is sacrilegious in Islam. Though most of our politicians are less aware with the dictates of the religion but that shouldn't justify such a heinous window. May God spare our lives to visit the two holy sites for His sake This is an act of sacrilege to the holy mosque and Allah Wil sure punish them for that and they will.never succeed. A poster is meant for somebody who doesn't know a person personally or was not aware of what one's ambition or plan is, and Allah knows best. Why the posters?
