The Emir of Zazzau, Ambassador Ahmad Nuhu Bamalli, has cautioned intending pilgrims from Kaduna State against travelling with kolanuts to Saudi Arabia.
He gave the warning while addressing the first batch of the intending pilgrims to be airlifted by Kaduna State Pilgrims Welfare Agency to the holy land.
“You have to avoid taking kolanuts to the holy land because it is against the rules of the land. They can arrest you because of kolanuts. And if you are arrested, it will be difficult for the governor or emir to get you released,” he said.
He then advised the intending pilgrims to drop anything incriminating before boarding the plane.
