100 Christian pilgrims reportedly absconded during the 2017 pilgrimage to Isreal.

The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Tor Uja, revealed this while receiving security report of the 2017 pilgrimage on Monday in Abuja.

The NCPC boss said that the 100 pilgrims who absconded were from five states in Nigeria, adding that a serving soldier, a police inspector and a lecturer were among the absconders.

He disclosed that pilgrims absconded during pilgrimage as a result of their colonial mindset. He explained that as part of the efforts of the commission to check pilgrims from absconding, the commission has decided to increase the security surveillance during pilgrimage.
