This figure is lower than the five death recorded last year as at Arafat period.
The Head of National Medical Team of NAHCON, Dr Ibrahim Kana, confirmed this on Monday in Arafat after two million Muslim faithfuls from across the world successfully performed the major highlight of 2018 Hajj.
The deceased – a male from Lagos and a lady from Kano – died from diabetic complications.
He said the Lagos pilgrim died in Muna on Sunday, while the Kano pilgrim died in Makkah a forthnight ago.
In 2017, five Nigerians pilgrims died in Saudi Arabia before Arafat was held. (Daily Trust)
