The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has released the sacked chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, Jalal Arabi, and the commission’s secretary, Abdullahi Kontagora, on bail
Arabi and Kontagora were detained over alleged illegal withdrawal and the mismanagement of the N90bn 2024 Hajj intervention fund.
They were, however, unable to meet their bail conditions and stayed in EFCC’s custody for five days.
But speaking with our correspondent on Wednesday, a source familiar with the matter stated that Arabi and Kontagora had met their bail conditions.
The source said they were released on Monday, adding that no further recovery had been made yet after the first 314,098 Saudi Riyal.
“The former Hajj Commission chairman and the secretary have been released, and the investigation is still ongoing.
