One of the pilgrims from Niger State in this year’s Holy Pilgrimage to Israel, Mr. Amos Peter has been reported dead in transit few hours to the Holy land. It was reliably gathered that first aid treatment was administered to him and that he was later rushed to a hospital in Turkey but was confirmed dead on arrival at the hospital.
Head of the medical team leading the pilgrimage to the holy land, Dr. Joseph Kolo confirmed that late Peter like other pilgrims from the state had undergone thorough medical examinations and were all certified and declared medically fit for the trip and wondered the cause of the sudden death.
Meanwhile, the corpse of the deceased is being expected back in the country and will be handed over to the family for interment. Late Peter was part of the 286 Christian pilgrims who left the state through the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport for Israel.
