The Executive Chairman of the Kaduna State Pilgrims Welfare Agency, Salihu Abubakar, has assured pilgrims from the state that animal sacrifices (Hadaya) were duly performed for all those who paid through the agency.
Abubakar gave the assurance in response to concerns raised by some pilgrims over the alleged non-performance of the sacrifice despite making payments.
A statement issued on Tuesday by the Chief Press Secretary to Gov. Uba Sani, Malam Ibraheem Musa, explained that Hadaya is a mandatory Hajj rite involving the slaughtering of animals on behalf of pilgrims on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah.
The chairman said the clarification became necessary following complaints lodged with the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria by some pilgrims who claimed there was no evidence that the sacrifices had been carried out.
According to him, the names of all pilgrims who paid Hadaya through the agency have been displayed at the pilgrims’ residence
