The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has released the former Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, Jalal Arabi, and the commission’s secretary, Abdullahi Kontagora, on bail.

The pair were being held in custody over alleged misappropriation of the ₦90bn 2024 Hajj intervention fund provided by the federal government.

 

According to a source, “The former Hajj Commission chairman and the secretary have been released, and the investigation is still ongoing. They were released on Monday after meeting their bail conditions. Nothing yet on the matter. No other recoveries except for the earlier ones.”

 

The EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, could not be reached for confirmation as of the time of filing this report.

 

In a related development, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has dismissed Jalal Arabi from his position as Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria and appointed Professor Abdullahi Saleh Usman as the new Executive Chairman of NAHCON.
