The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) chairman in Adamawa State, Bishop Stephen Dami Mamza, has alleged massive corruption at the National Christian Pilgrimage Commission, calling on the anti-graft agencies to wade in.
Addressing journalists at a press conference in Yola on Thursday, Mamza called for the resignation of the commission’s executive secretary, Reverend Yakubu Pam, for alleged shortchanging pilgrims of their accommodation money.
He alleged that some of them spent only one night in the holy land and returned to Nigeria because they had nowhere to sleep and no feeding.
Mean while, refuting the allegations, the pilgrims commission in a statement signed by the Head of Media and Public Relations, Celestine Toruka, revealed that it did not handle any logistic arrangements for the Adamawa pilgrims.
