The Edo State Muslims Pilgrims Welfare Board has given intending pilgrims a deadline of Friday April 27 for the submission of all documents relating to the 2024 Hajj exercise in Saudi Arabia.
The Board’s Chairman, Sheik Ibrahim Oyarekhua, who gave the deadline during the screening of 197 intending pilgrims in the State, said intending pilgrims were not going to be allowed to register a few days to the hajj exercise as visas would not be issued to anybody from May 29.
