Mr Muhammadu made an appeal during an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

He said that he wrote a letter to Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ban such desperate Nigerians from coming to Saudi Arabia simply because they are suffering.

I also advise unemployed Nigerians to try their best to do something back home in Nigeria instead of wasting their time traveling all the way to Saudi Arabia because things are not easy.
