A Nigerian pilgrim has died on the plain of Arafat.
The Chairman, National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Prof Abdullahi Saleh Usman, disclosed this to newsmen shortly after the national prayer organized by the commission.
“We received as a sad news that we lost one of our pilgrims today in Arafat, and the other one died before we left Mecca,” he said.

He also said the pilgrim’s death was natural, ruling out speculations that it was caused by heat wave.
Meanwhile, NAHCON has repeatedly warned that the name of any deceased person must not be made public by the commission or media until his or her family has been formally informed.
