The number of Nigerians that died during this year's Hajj as a result of stampede has increased to 145,with several others still missing. The tragedy that occurred in the holy city of Mecca this year,is a tragedy one too many. Such monumental loss of lives has never been recorded.More than 769 pilgrims from across the world were confirmed dead and 1,000 injured during the stampede on one of the roads leading to the Jamarat complex (stone throwing site) in Mina.

May the souls of the dead rest in peace.
