The Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), has announced that there would be no further pilgrimages to Israel until the Israel/Iran conflict is resolved.
Executive Secretary of the commission, Stephen Adegbite, made this known via a statement yesterday by the Deputy Director and Head of Media and Public Relations, Celestine Toruka.
Adegbite dismissed reports claiming that Nigerian pilgrims were currently in Israel for pilgrimage.
