Honesty
A member of
the Akwa Ibom State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board, Alhaji Mohammed Albashir
Jacobs, has been nabbed by officers of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad for
defrauding an intended Hajj Pilgrims of monies amounting millions of naira.
Information
has it that the three men syndicate comprising of Alhaji Albashir, Otobong
Abdulrasheed Asuquo, who is the purported board chairman and Mustapha Gramma have been
operating an account at First Bank where unsuspecting muslims are made to
deposit huge sums of monies as registration levy for pilgrimage to Saudi
Arabia.
Further investigations
reveal that twenty nine muslims have so far fallen victims to the ‘board
members’.
Akwa Ibom
State did not partake in this year’s Hajj as the “board” failed to remit the
millions paid into their coffers to the National Hajj Commission.
