Over 400 Hajj Pilgrims airlifted
The first batch of Muslims on the Hajj Pilgrimage from Ghana was airlifted Friday evening to the holy land of Mecca.
It comes as a huge relief to the Hajj Board and the government
following a setback on Thursday leading to the cancellation of the
original flight.
The frustrated pilgrims were full of smiles when the Lion Air plane
touched down at the Tamale International Airport around 6.40pm. They
left Ghana to Saudi Arabia at 10 pm.
Vice president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia who has been in Tamale this week to
ensure a successful Hajj take off thanked the pilgrims for their
patience.
Dr. Bawumia assured that despite the delay “the schedule will continue and we will ensure that no one at the end of the day will be left behind. Everybody will get to go.”
