Galadima revealed that the patients with mental disabilities are presently receiving treatment and would perform Hajj.
According to him, “There are 30 of them with mental health challenges.
“We have been managing them in our facilities. We have about four psychiatrists on the team.
“We have been managing them and all of them would likely perform hajj because they are a bit stable now.”
