The good Samaritan Alhaji Arzukka said he just came down from the elivator when he found the bag on the floor, he then picked it and just head straight to the PRO of their state to hand over the bag in other to find the owner.
Alhaji Arzukka said “We were given sensitization from home by our officials that you don’t find something in Makka, and that was why when I found this bag I decided to hand it over to our PRO”
When asked if he regretted serroundering the money, the good Samaritan said he was happy that he handed over the money to the owner.
The Coordinator of Sokoto State Pilgrims Welfare Board in Madina Alhaji Nura Malami said Sokoto state are very humble and law abiding citizens therefore what happened is not a supprise to him because he already know what they instilled in their pilgrims.
