The Ghana Hajj Taskforce has confirmed the deaths of two pilgrims in Mecca during this year's Hajj pilgrimage, which saw approximately 60,000 Ghanaians participate.
Additionally, five pilgrims were repatriated due to visa issues.
According to Alhaji A.B.A.
Fuseini, Head of Corporate Affairs at the Hajj Taskforce, the repatriated pilgrims were not deported for any criminal offence, but rather due to errors in their visa issuance.
