Turkey sponsored Hajj: Ghanaian Poor Man Spotted a Drone and Wish

Turkey: Al-Hassan Abdullah is a poor Ghanaian villager whose story went viral on Turkish social media. A turkey news channel was recording a video with their drone and eventually, this drone fell in front of this old man’s house. The journalist ran to get the drone back and saw it in the older man’s hand.

He innocently asked the Turkish film crew flying a drone with a camera in his village in Ghana if they had “a bigger one of this that would take him to [Saudi Arabia]” where millions of Muslims go every year for the hajj, the annual Muslim pilgrimage. As his story went viral on social media, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu intervened and helped arrange a hajj journey for Abdullah, who is impoverished.
