In a post on Monday via his verified Facebook page, Sheikh Gumi confirmed that although the Saudi government had issued him a visa, he was denied entry into Medina upon arrival and was subsequently deported.

“Due to some reasons related to my views on world politics, the authorities in Saudi Arabia do not want me to be present at Hajj even though they have granted me a visa,” Gumi stated.

He also expressed appreciation to Nigerian authorities for pledging to engage with their Saudi counterparts to resolve the matter.

Findings indicated that Sheikh Gumi was part of a delegation of Islamic scholars sponsored by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) to provide religious services during the Hajj.
