The death records in this year’s hajji pilgrimage stands at about 1301, this is based on data released by the saudi Arabia Authority.
The chairman Hajj Commission of Nigeria, Jalal Arabi says 30 Nigerians lost their lives during the exercise.
In Adamawa, two out of the the 1007 pilgrims lost their lives and this has become a source of concern to Governor Fintiri
