Nigerian Female Pilgrim Gives Birth In Medinah

A Nigerian female pilgrim from Zamfara State, who is in Saudi Arabia for this year’s Hajj, has given birth to a baby in Madinah.

According to reports, the pilgrim who hailed from Tsafe LGA delivered a baby in less than 48 hours of her arrival in Madinah.

It was gathered that she received special gifts from (Sana) Mashariq Al Dhahabia, Nigerian Hajj Service provider.

In another development, a 75-year-old woman from Edo State, Adizatu Dazumi, died during the 2025 Hajj in Saudi Arabia.

Dazumi was from Jattu Uzairue in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo state.

The pilgrim died on Monday at King Fahad General Hospital in Makkah after a short illness.

The Chairman of the Edo State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board, Musah Uduimoh, confirmed her death on Tuesday.

Uduimoh said Dazumi became ill shortly after performing Tawaaf (walking around the Kaaba) and was taken to the hospital on Sunday. She passed away the next day.

“She was buried in Makkah on the same day, according to Islamic tradition, and her family in Jattu Uzairue has been informed,” Uduimoh said.
