EFCC summons NAHCON chairman over alleged mismanagement of N90 billion Hajj funds

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has summoned Malam Jalal Arabi, the Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), to account for the expenditure of a N90 billion subsidy allocated for the 2024 Hajj pilgrimage.

Insiders at the EFCC revealed that Arabi is expected to offer a thorough breakdown of how the commission distributed the substantial funds meant for the pilgrims.

This subsidy was part of the federal government’s financial support for the annual religious journey.
