The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria has warned intending pilgrims against payment of extra Hajj fares, as directed by some faceless fraudsters.
The warning is contained in a press statement signed by NAHCON’s Assistant Director, Public Affairs, Fatima Sanda Usara, on Thursday.
Usara declared that the Commission has not requested pilgrims to pay any additional administrative charges beyond the stated amount, stressing that any one that makes such a request on behalf of the body is violating the role and responsibility of NAHCON as the regulatory body.
