It was gathered that the pilgrims arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos, on Wednesday, July 20, 2022.
Some of the pilgrims thanked Almighty Allah for His mercy throughout the spiritual exercise.
The first batch of Oyo pilgrims left their hotels for the airport at 6 p.m Saudi time (4 p.m Nigerian time) on Tuesday.
The aircraft conveying the pilgrims back to Nigeria took off at 2 a.m Nigerian time.
Recall that the first batch of the pilgrims from the state left Ibadan on Saturday 18th of June 2022 and were airlifted to holy lands about twenty hours later.

The remaining batches of Oyo State Pilgrims are expected to return to the country later.
