A Ghanaian has lost his life while on pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
It is unclear what caused the death of the pilgrim but 3news.com‘s sources are attributing it to hardship.
The deceased was said to be on visiting visa, which is not allowed by Saudi authorities for pilgrimage.
Such persons are said to infiltrate the Ghanaian camp annually to observe the Hajj at the expense of government-registered pilgrims.
This year, the Ghana Hajj Board warned would-be pilgrims not to attempt to travel to Saudi Arabia with such visas as they would be arrested and handed over to the authorities.
Over the weekend, three of such persons were arrested.
