Two Justices of the Court of Appeal were among Nigerian pilgrims
who died in the Holy land while performing this year's Hajj.
They are Justice Abdulkadir Jega, Presiding Justice of Abuja
Division and Justice Musa Hassan Alkali of Ilorin Division.
The Chief Justice of Nigeria, (CJN) Justice Mahmud Mohammed in a
condolence message his media aide Ahuraka Isah on Saturday commiserated with
the Court of Appeal and the families of the two Justices.
More than 700 pilgrims died and more than 800 injured in Saudi
Arabia last Thursday following a deadly stampede in Mina near the Jamarat
(symbolic stoning of the devil) site.
