Saheed Anifat Foluke, a female hajj pilgrim from Oyo State, who attended the recently concluded 2019 hajj exercise, has reportedly absconded after the holy pilgrimage in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The Chairman of the state Pilgrims Welfare Board, Muslim Wing, Prof. Sahed Malik, disclosed this while presenting the report of the 2019 hajj operation to the state Governor, Seyi Makinde, at the Governor’s Office in Ibadan.

According to Malik, Anifat was one of the 914 pilgrims that took part in the 2019 Hajj from the state.
