Jeddah, Saudi Arabia - Two Nigerian pilgrims were reportedly dead after falling from storey buildings while two pregnant women from Taraba and Niger states gave birth to still born babies.
Head of medical team of National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, Dr Ibrahim Kana, said the first incident was a psychiatric case, saying the pilgrim who came from Gombe state jumped from his room.
He said attempts by doctors and good samaritans to rescue the deceased proved abortive, even though doctors met the man alive, he eventually died in the hospital.
He said the other pilgrim, a female from Bauchi state, fell from the fifth floor of a building of the 29 October and died instantly.
He said the commission has provided six psychiatric doctors who would be attending to such cases. Dr Kana said so far, seven pilgrims have died including three female.
