Two pilgrims from Kwara State on 2024 hajj to Saudi Arabia have reportedly passed away.
The Kwara State Muslim Pilgrims Board announced on Sunday that the two pilgrims died in Madina, Saudi Arabia.
According to a statement by the Executive Secretary of the Kwara State Pilgrims Welfare Board, Abdulsalam Abdulkadir, “Saliu Mohammed, who arrived with Batch 3 of the state contingent, died in an intensive care unit of a public hospital in Madina after a brief illness, while Hajia Hawawu Mohammed (Batch 9) also died following what Saudi authorities have investigated and found to be an unfortunate suicidal episode from the rooftop of her apartment in Madina.”
The pilgrims’ board expressed that it “deeply regrets the sad events, but submits totally to the decree and ultimate knowledge of Allah in all affairs.”
