Pilgrims from Ogun State have set out to Mina, where they would stay under the tents in commencement of the major spiritual exercise.
The pilgrims, dressed in the white two-piece garment, would be camped at the Mina valley which is about 10.3 km outside the city of Mecca.
Speaking ahead of the movement of the pilgrims, the Executive Secretary of the Ogun State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare board, Alhaji Ajibola Taiwo said “the pilgrims will spend the major part of the day (Wednesday 4th June, 2025) at Mina before proceeding to Arafat where they will be on Thursday 5th June, 2025.”
He said all pilgrims are expected to be at Arafat, as the Hajj exercise cannot be completed without the visit to Mount Arafat. (TVC)
