An official of the Kaduna State Pilgrims Welfare Agency, Yaú Inuwa, has returned two phones worth N4 million to the owner, Muhajiadina Kano, in Jeddah.
The agency’s public relations officer, Yunusa Abdullahi, announced this in a statement on Sunday in Kaduna.
Mr Abdullahi said, “Malam Inuwa has done the state proud when he handed over two missing mobile phones worth N4 million to the owner at the King Abdul Azeez International Airport in Jeddah during the return flight to Nigeria.
Mr Kano was quoted as expressing gratitude to Mr Inuwa for returning the phones to him.
He said he forgot the phones while waiting to be screened at the airport.
Mr Kano said he left the phones on his seat, thinking they were in his pocket, when it was his turn to be screened, adding that he was alarmed when he discovered that the phones were not on him.
According to Mr Kano, “mobile phones contain vital documents and information and they are expensive. They were iPhone 5 and iPhone 15 Promax models.
‘’ The airport security prevented us from going downstairs, where we sat earlier, to find out if the phones were still there. They insisted that once passengers are screened, they can’t leave the boarding area.
‘’We were in a dilemma on what to do when a Kaduna State Pilgrim Agency official approached us and declared that he found the phones where we had earlier sat before we were called for screening,’’ he said.
“Mr Kano, who is a Kano State Hajj official, said that he was elated when the phones were returned to him, just as he prayed to Allah to reward Mr Inuwa abundantly for his good deed.
Mr Abdullahi said Mr Inuwa is the Pilgrims Registration Officer of Giwa Local Government of Kaduna State and the Jeddah Coordinator for the return journey.
He said that besides the two phones, he also returned seven bags belonging to other passengers.
Speaking about how he found the owner, Mr Inuwa said that he saw a group of people lament the loss of mobile phones at the airport boarding area.
Mr Inuwa said that what he did was in line with his duty as a Hajj official, adding that pilgrims should watch over their belongings, especially passports, at the airport.

Teenage girl allegedly stabbed parents to de@th, stabbed family dog, sent crime scene photos to friends
A 15-year-old girl from Groningen in the Netherlands was arrested after her parents, Johan and Mathilda, both 53, were found f@tally stabbed last Thursday, June 18, Dutch outlet Algemeen Dagblad reported.
The family’s pet golden retriever also suffered stab wounds in the rampage, the Sun reported.
The dog’s condition is unclear.
The girl took images of her slain parents and then shared the disturbing photos with her friends on WhatsApp after the bloody attack, the Telegraaf reported.
“You could see both of her parents lying on the ground with their eyes open. Her father was lying on the floor, and her mother was on the bed. There was blood visible and a knife,” one student told the outlet in Dutch.
Local police declined to comment further on the images, but encouraged people to never distribute such images online and report them to the police, the reports said.
The girl reportedly struggled with her identity and often pretended to be a dog, crawling around and barking on all fours with other friends in school corridors.
“She wore a tail, dog ears, and gloves,” another classmate told the outlet. “And sometimes she would make barking sounds.”
Johan and Mathilda’s relatives said in a statement obtained by Algemeen Dagblad that they “can hardly comprehend” the murd£rs.
‘We hope that everyone understands that we are deeply affected by the tragic events surrounding the passing of Johan and Mathilda from Meerstad,” family and friends said in a statement through an aid organization.
“But the support and sympathy we have received from many do us good and are heartwarming.”
An investigation into the slayings remains ongoing.

OGTV broadcaster: Police recover stolen Lexus RX300 as CP vows “no stone unturned” in murder probe
Ogun State Police Command says it has recovered the Lexus RX300 stolen from the home of slain ex-OGTV broadcaster Mrs Kitan Oyesiku and her security guard in Iyana Agodo Village, Owode-Egba.
The recovery happened during night operations, the command confirmed Monday.
—CP walks the scene himself—
Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni visited the crime scene for an on-the-spot assessment. He inspected the premises and got briefings from detectives handling the case.
“CP Ojajuni reiterated the Command’s resolve to leave no stone unturned in unraveling the circumstances surrounding the incident and ensuring that those responsible are identified, apprehended, and brought to justice,” Police PPRO Oluseyi Babaseyi said in a statement.
The visit, according to police, was to evaluate progress in the investigation into the double murder that has rattled the Owode-Egba community.
—What happened that night—
PUNCH Online had reported that a resident raised the alarm over suspicious movements around Oyesiku’s residence. When operatives arrived, they found signs of forced entry.
Inside, the security guard was found dead at his post. Oyesiku’s body was later discovered inside the apartment. Her Lexus RX300 was missing.
Police now say the vehicle has been secured and will serve as key evidence. “It is worthy of note that the vehicle earlier reported missing from the residence, a Lexus RX300, has been recovered by police operatives during the night hours,” Babaseyi confirmed.
—“Intensive investigation ongoing”–
Ojajuni commiserated with Oyesiku’s family and assured Ogun residents that “all available resources are being deployed to track down the perpetrators.”
For now, no arrests have been announced. But with the car recovered and the CP personally monitoring the case, police say they’re closing in.
Oyesiku, a retired broadcaster with Ogun State Television, was remembered by colleagues as a calm voice on air. Her death, alongside her guard’s, has renewed calls for better security for elderly residents living alone in semi-urban areas. [The Punch report rewritten]
