Nigeria is now number three in the list of the countries that have suffered the most in the recent Hajj Stampede that claimed almost two thousand lives.
According to tallies given by foreign officials, the death toll from last month's Hajj stampede has risen to at least 1,849, making it the deadliest incident in the pilgrimage's history.
Hundreds of pilgrims have not been accounted for following the September 24 stampede at the hajj, which is one of the largest annual gatherings in the world.
An Agence France Presse (AFP) tally from more than 30 countries shows the death toll has overtaken the 1,426 pilgrims who died in the Hajj's worst previous incident -- a tunnel stampede in July 1990.
