The military on Friday bared the
use of the Maiduguri International airport for lifting about 278 pilgrims to
this year’s lesser hajj in Saudi Arabia. Those affected include a serving
senator representing Borno Central at the National Assembly, Muhamed Ali Ndume.
Thisday reports that all efforts of the Governor Kashim Shettima to persuade
the military to rescind its decision fell on deaf ears as the aircraft were ordered
to leave the terminal empty. The pilgrims had no choice than to travel for
seven hours to Kano to board their flights.
THE QUESTION
But was it for their safety or not?
