Speaking from Saudi Arabia, the NAHCON official who pleaded anonymity said, investigation is still ongoing and the commission is still trying to get the total number of Nigerian pilgrims who died and sustained different degree of injuries.
He added that the Chairman of the Commission, Alhaji Abdullahi Mukhtar urged the Saudi government to involve countries, whose citizens were killed in the stampede in the investigation.
The Chairman of the Borno State Pilgrims Board, Professor Tijjani Almiskin, a prominent Nigerian female journalist, Bilkisu Yusuf, and a member of the Nigerian medical team, Dr. Hafsat Shittu were among many Nigerians killed in the stampede, when the pilgrims were performing the last rite of the Hajj, stoning of the devil.
