Two pilgrims who travelled to the 2025 Hajj are unaccounted for, according to the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga.

Ayariga said two pilgrims from his constituency, Bawku, may have struggled due to language barriers.

He told Parliament that some of the pilgrims are unable to speak Arabic and may also have been too old.

Ayariga assured the House that efforts are underway to locate the missing individuals and bring them safely back home.

“I cannot account for two of my pilgrims. I have been calling our Consular Officer there to help us find where they are, because some of them are very old people. You go to an event where there are over one million people attending, they are not educated, and they don’t speak any other language."
