The Lagos State administration, led by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has successfully airlifted and returned to the country three hundred and ten (310) Nigerians who went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Israel.
Governor Sanwo-Olu confirmed the news today via his verified X handle. Despite the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, the Christian pilgrims were returned.
Hundreds of civilians have been murdered in Gaza as a result of Israeli air strikes in retaliation for an offensive attack by the Palestinian armed group Hamas.
”I’m happy to announce that we have successfully airlifted and returned all three hundred and ten (310) citizens who went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Israel.
”I want to thank you all for your concern, and I must also express my joy to our Ministry of Home Affairs for a job well done.
”We pray for peace in Israel, and indeed the world at large,” Sanwo Olu announced on his X account.
