Nigerian Hajj Stampede Victim Tells How he Survived

The tragic stampede that occurred last Thursday during hajj in Saudi Arabia, is still a hot topic in the news, as more details about the incident are starting to be revealed.

Hamza Musa Kabir, a 55-year-old trader who is from Kano, recently recounted his ordeal during the incident, and how he survived, Vanguard reports.

Kabir said:

We set off at sunrise from Muzdalifah and marched towards the Jamarat,” the place in Mina where pilgrims ritually stone the devil.
We were more than halfway through the procession when the road was blocked by the police, which led to buildup (of pilgrims).
Then the police blocked all the roads, leaving us with only one route. The situation became worse when the police allowed people returning from the Jamarat to use the same route back to their tents where the pilgrims were staying.
From where I stood, I could see a police officer on a raised platform at a nearby control post beckoning at pilgrims returning that they should move on.
Because those returning were moving in the opposite (direction) of the surging crowd, there was a stampede.
