Benue State suspends the Chairman and Executive Secretary of the Benue State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board. The suspension follows allegations tied to the allocation of Hajj slots and alleged financial irregularities.

According to reports, the state Executive Council approves the action for a defined period, affecting the Board’s senior leadership. One outlet reports the suspension is for three months and specifies that it takes effect from Monday, September 21, 2026, naming Alhaji Abubakar Adamu as Chairman and Alhaji Ahmadu Alhassan as Executive Secretary. Another outlet similarly links the suspension to concerns about the Hajj slot process and financial management.

While both sources agree on who is suspended and the general grounds cited, they emphasize different levels of procedural detail, such as the suspension duration and exact start date.
