The Chairman, National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, Dr Ibrahim Kana, has said the number of Nigerian pilgrims who have died while performing the 2019 Hajj in Saudi Arabia has risen to nine.

Kana disclosed this in Muna on Monday while briefing journalists on the activities of the medical team of NAHCON for the pilgrims.

Kana said, “The deceased, a Lagos State pilgrim, collapsed at Jamrat and was brought to hospital in Muna but died, she was hypertensive.”

Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria in Muna, Kana said the leader of the Lagos State team in Saudi for the Hajj, Alhaji AbdulLateef Abdulkarim, had identified the deceased as Alhaja Folashade Lawal.

He said the deceased hailed from Oshodi Local Government Area of the state, saying she slumped at 3am while heading for Jamrat to throw stones at the devil.

Throwing stones at the ‘devil’ is one of the Islamic rites towards an acceptable Hajj.


Kana said NAHCON opened 21 field offices in Muna with adequate drugs and ambulances.

A NAN correspondent, who visited the Nigerian camp in Muna, reported that many pilgrims, mostly women, were seen buying women’s wear and other gift items they claimed were meant for their families and friends at home.

The pilgrims, who will spend three days to accomplish religious rites in Muna, are expected to move to the Grand Mosque, Makkah on Tuesday to complete the remaining rites to ensure an acceptable hajj.

I'm sure the Devil threw his stone first.

When devil was busy sleeping you went to wake him/her.... anything that happened thereafter not my concerned..

Africans and Religion.

Sorry for the loss

May Allaah accept their deeds and forgive their shortcomings. Indeed death in Hajj is a good sign. Some died in brothels while others died in bars. Some others died on cocaine pilgrimage to India, US et al.

However, what bothers me about most Nigerians is that only a few really understand the religious significance of Hajj. The vast majority only go for social affluence while others see it as mere tourism and sight seeing. Indeed a person will only get reward for what he intended.

May Allaah accept their deeds and forgive their shortcomings. Indeed we will soon join you, even a hundred years on earth is like the blink of an eye when death comes. May Allaah bless us also with a good end.

This is sad. May the Lord Almighty Allah accept our ibadah and forgive all our sin in Jesus mighty name. Amen

Africa needs sense

When you go to stone the devil but the devil stones you first.

In Fela's voice
When trouble sleep yanga go wake am
Wetin he dey fiiiiind
Palava he dey find, palava he go get
When cat dey sleep rat go bite him tail
Wetin he dey fiiiiind
Palava he dey find, palava he go get

My Muslim friend told me its a good thing if u die during pilgrimage... I was like WTF....

Allah is the greatest. The infidels won't understand truth until they see the Angel of death, by then its too late. Allah forgive us our sins, for nobody can cleanse you of your sins but your selves.
