The Chairman of the National Hajj Task Force, Alhaji Collins Dauda, has confirmed that six Ghanaian pilgrims who died during the 2025 Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca had pre-existing health conditions.
Speaking to the media, Alhaji Dauda said the families of the deceased have been officially informed, and arrangements are underway to honour their memory upon the return of the main Ghanaian contingent later this month.
His comments come days after the Ghana Hajj Board announced the deaths of seven Ghanaian pilgrims during this year's pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
The deceased include five women and two men.
