Ignorance is truly no excuse for a crime. A Nigerian pilgrim has himself in Saudi Arabian police custody for ignorantly tooking kolanuts to Saudi Aribian holy land
The pilgrim has been fined 10,000 Saudi Riyals for entering the holy land with 10 kolanuts.
The Acting Ambassador of Nigeria in Saudi Arabia Monday afternoon confirmed the development, saying the Saudi authorities categorised the importation of kolanuts into the Saudi Arabia as illegal.
However the officials of the Nigerian Consulate, Jeddah are currently pleading for a finger of mercy for the pilgrim.
