The Ghana Hajj Taskforce has confirmed the deaths of two Ghanaian pilgrims in Mecca during the 2025 Hajj pilgrimage.
Roughly 60,000 Ghanaians travelled to Saudi Arabia for this year’s pilgrimage. In addition to the fatalities, five pilgrims were repatriated due to visa-related issues.
Head of Corporate Affairs, Alhaji A.B.A. Fuseini, clarified that the repatriations were not criminal deportations but administrative matters.
He added that the Taskforce is actively working to resolve the visa challenges and return the affected pilgrims to Mecca.
