Import kolanut, get death sentence –
Saudi govt tells pilgrims
The Saudi Arabia authority has
slammed a death penalty for any
pilgrim who travels to the holy land
with kolanuts, hard drugs and other
contraband.
Hence, the Lagos State government
yesterday warned intending pilgrims
for the 2016 hajj pilgrimage to
Saudi Arabia to stay out of trouble
and likely death sentence by not
traveling to the holy land with
contraband items.
The state government described kola
nuts as a caffeine-based edible
seed, otherwise known as “goro” and
“obi” and often used ceremonially by
Nigerians to show a gesture of
friendship and warmth and also used
in the production of beverages and
energy drinks.
But the Saudi Arabia authority
prohibits Kola nuts and other hard
drugs items identified as harmful to
their citizens.
In guidelines for Hajj 2016, the
Saudi Kingdom has notified the
Nigerian authorities to ban kola nut
carriage by pilgrims during the
annual pilgrimage.
Some criminals during hajj pilgrimag
smuggle cocaine usually hidden in th
kolanuts while traveling to the holy
land. Reacting to this at the
Murtala Mohamed International
Airport, Lagos State Amir Hajj, Dr
Abdulhakeem Abdullateef, noted that
the National Hajj Commission of
Nigeria (NAHCON), has confirmed the
directive.

"Holy land" wants to kill people because of cola nut? Lol.

What is holy about d land na. Killing some1 cos of kolanut no make sense at all haba

So it's death sentence now, after all the revenue they're generating from foreigners. But wait oo, what is the negative effect of bitter kola on human health that warrants such law?

So, Islam forbids kolanuts yet some Abokis and their Islamic clerics dey chew the thing like there is no tomorrow? No wonder Sekau call all of them "infidels"

Lol,how northerner go survive without his kolanut that gives them inspiration.

Wondered y sum pple always want to die because of this country....
