Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe known for her roles in Yoruba movies, has performed her first hajj with her husband, Kazim Adeoti. The couple is currently in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, to partake in the annual Islamic pilgrimage.

Sharing photos and videos of their hajj journey on social media, the couple have met with immense support from their fans and followers.
In one of the photos, Aigbe is seen wearing a traditional white hajj garment. Smiling and looking up at the sky, she wrote a caption, “Hajia Minnah with the ‘h’”
