A pilgrim from Niger was on Wednesday feared dead in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, after mistakenly falling into the pit of an elevator under repair.

The operators, mainly Nigerians resident in Madinah, transact their businesses in secret as they approach pilgrims in their hotels in groups or individually to introduce the business deal.

NIMC Managing Director, Aliyu Aziz, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday in Abuja.

Alhaji Abdullahi Saleh, Commissioner in charge of Operations, gave the caution on Thursday in Katsina during an enlightenment programme on the 2018 hajj.
