Nigerian intending pilgrims in Saudi Arabia have distanced themselves from a social media report on the kind of breakfast purportedly served to FCT pilgrims, leadership news reports.

The rebuttal comes on the heels of viral social media posts on the kind of breakfast being served FCT pilgrims in Saudi Arabia after paying N8m as 2024 Hajj fare.

However, checks on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, at the FCT camp revealed that the report about under-feeding of the pilgrims was untrue.

The pilgrims expressed doubt concerning the veracity of the story, insisting that the social media post was not from any pilgrim in the holy land.

“That person must have eaten more that half of that breakfast before he took the photo of the remnant and mischievously sent it to his friend who posted it on Facebook,” an intending pilgrim, Aliyu Musa, said.

Another intending pilgrim, Sani Ismail, said: “That wasn’t the quantity of food shared to us for breakfast. If anybody should complain, it should be us (the pilgrims) and not someone in Nigeria. Look, nothing of such (small ration) happened. They are just looking for trouble.”
