Another Nigerian pilgrim, Hajiya Jamila Muhammad, has died at Makkah at the ongoing 2025 Hajj Pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
The death of the pilgrim who hailed from Plateau state was disclosed to newsmen in Jos on Tuesday by Daiyabu Dauda, the Executive Secretary of the State’s Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board.
This is coming exactly a week after 75-year-old Nigerian female pilgrim, Mrs Adizatu Dazumi, died at King Fahad General Hospital, Makkah, following brief illness.
According to Dauda, Jamila also died on Monday at the King Abdul’aziz hospital, Makkah due to complication from diabetes.
“When the complications began, we immediately took her to the hospital for proper medication inline with our mandate.
“Unfortunately, we lost her and the doctor at hospital confirmed it was complications due to diabetes,”he said
Dauda further said that the deceased has since been buried in Makkah according to Islamic rites.
He condoled with her immediate family over the irreparable loss and urged them to take solace in God.
