A judge of the Court of Appeal, Justice Abdulkadir Jega, was among the over 700 pilgrims killed in Thursday’s stampede in Mina, Saudi Arabia.
Justice Jega’s body, according to reports, was found at a morgue in Mina.
The deceased, a brother to Prof. Attahiru Jega, the former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), was a member of Kebbi State Government delegation to the 2015 Hajj in Saudi Arabia.
Officials of the country’s pilgrims’ board are still compiling the list of Nigerians involved in the stampede.
