One of the Pilgrims from Niger State to 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 on him and later rushed to a Hospital in
Turkey but was confirmed dead on arrival at the Hospital.
Head of
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 been expected back in the country and would 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 for this year’s Holy pilgrimage.
