5 Nigerian Pilgrims Die In Saudi Arabia

 

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria

(NAHCON) said five Nigerian pilgrims had died

in the Holy land.

The Head of Madinah Operations of NAHCON,

Dr Bello Tambuwal, on Wednesday disclosed

this to newsmen in Madinah.

He said NAHCON had established two clinics in

Madinah to provide medical treatment to the

pilgrims.

” The clinics were stocked with drugs. We

brought some from Nigeria while we bought some

here.”

Tambuwal said four of the deceased died in

Madinah and one in Macca.

He also added that the commission had not

recorded any traffic accident involving a

Nigerian pilgrim.

Tambuwal said 46,770 pilgrims had so far been

transported to Saudi Arabia, adding that the

exercise would be completed on schedule.
