NAHCON coordinator in Mecca, Aliyu Tanko, who disclosed this to journalists said the arrests occurred at various locations in the city between Monday and Saturday.
The commission had reportedly warned pilgrims against performing the hajj without the Nusuk ID card to avoid arrest.
One of the victims told journalists in Mecca that she lost her Nusuk card earlier given to her but she has requested for another one.
Sources observed that more Saudi police officers have been stationed at a strategic location along the Kaaba holy site.
According to the Saudi Minister of Hajj and Umrah, Tawfiq Al-Rabiah, the card aims to raise the efficiency of operational procedures for the upcoming hajj season to make the pilgrimage much easier and simplified as well as to bring down instances of performing hajj in an illegal way.
The card facilitates hajj workers to identify and verify the identity of each pilgrim, and also helps prevent unauthorised individuals from entering the holy sites, thus ensuring the safety and security of all pilgrims.
