This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Special Assistant to the Executive Secretary of the Agency, Ibrahim Shehu and made available to newsmen in Kaduna.

It read that, the Executive Secretary of the Agency, alongside the entire organization extend their deepest condolences to the family and friends of late Amina.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Amina’s family during this difficult time. We pray that Allah forgives her shortcomings and grants her soul eternal peace.”
“This unfortunate incident serves as a solemn reminder to all intending pilgrims to prioritize their health and well-being before embarking on the Hajj pilgrimage. We implore all prospective pilgrims to undergo thorough medical examinations and disclose any existing medical conditions to ensure a safe and smooth pilgrimage experience.”
“The Agency, once more beseech Allah, the Most Merciful to forgive any shortcomings Amina may have committed and grant her eternal peace in the hereafter. May her soul find solace in the comforting embrace of the Almighty, and may her family find strength in this trying time. Ameeen.”
