The incident happened during the month of Ramadan, shortly before the Eid-El-Fitr (Sallah) celebration.

Thirty Nigerian citizens have been arrested in Saudi Arabia for displaying campaign posters of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the holy mosque, Kaaba, SaharaReporters learnt.

The Nigerians, while on lesser Hajj, Umrah, were reportedly nabbed by the Saudi police at the holy mosque as they walk around the Kaaba with Tinubu's posters lifted up.

The incident happened during the month of Ramadan, shortly before the Eid-El-Fitr (Sallah) celebration.

An eyewitness, Murtala Adamu Jega, a Nigerian who also performed the lesser Hajj at the time said, "I'm a witness; I saw them lift Bola Tinubu's posters at the holy Kaaba.

"This is despicable. Instead of them to devout precious time to pray for peace to return to our country, 30 men made a mockery of our nation by lifting up a politician's posters in the holy place. Thank God, Saudi authorities were swift to have arrested them right there and then," he said.

For Zainab Abdullahi, another Nigerian who was at the mosque, "the scenario was a very bad representation of Nigeria's image before the world, and I think politicians must desist from this bad behaviour".

Meanwhile, a Saudi Arabian source said those arrested would be charged to court to serve their sentences.

Commenting on the situation, a renowned Islamic Cleric in Nigeria, Sheik Nura Khalid, commended the Saudi authorities for the arrest, saying, "Lifting up a politician's posters in the holy Kaaba has contravened Islamic traditions."

Yes, Nigerians desperately want Tinubu to be their president.

God bless Saudi Arabian Police for this.

Tinubu hypnotized urchins must learn to be civil by fire by force. Any move to restore their sanity is a welcome development.

God bless Saudi Arabia!

savage

They are praying on the posters, court will release them unless they want to play GOD, it is a simple explanation, the poster was not pasted, it was held for GOD to see not for human, makka is a place of communing with GOD, so they commune by holding up the posters, simple

This is evidently a fake news. The person carrying the poster is the same person in the photo next to Tinubu. Meaning him and him alone printed and showcased the poster. The person standing next to him is not Nigerian but Arab and only this picture has been in circulation. Where Sahara reporter got 30 people is a mystery

okko
