Zainab Habib Aliyu, a Nigerian student detained by the Saudi Arabian government over alleged drug trafficking, arrived Nigeria yesterday. Zainab, accompanied by another Nigeria also accused of the same crime, Ibrahim Abubakar, landed at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA).
Her father, Alhaji Habibu Aliyu Kila, said: “I was told about their coming three hours after their plane took off from King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah. So, I was not taken unaware, but Alhamdulillah, as I am speaking with you, I am together with my daughter.” Kila thanked the federal government and all those that played roles in getting his daughter released.
The two young Nigerians were conveyed to Nigeria by the Saudi Airline plane and were handed over to their parents by the Saudi Arabian Consulte in Kano. It would be recalled that Zainab was arrested and detained for four months by the Saudi Arabian anti-drug trafficking agency over alleged drug trafficking, but she was later found to be innocent.
