Crane accident: Families of Nigerian victims to get N70m each

Families of the six Nigerian pilgrims who lost their lives in the Friday September 11th crane accident at the Grand Mosque in the Saudi Arabian city of Mecca are to receive N70m each as compensation from the Saudi Custodian of the two Holy Mosques, King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

The king had ordered that families of each of the 111 people who lost their lives in the accident be paid compensation of (SR1,000,000) one million Saudi Riyals which is N70 million in Naira equivalent. Six Nigerian pilgrims including one pilgrim from Kaduna and five others from Gombe state died in the unfortunate incident.

That's why it's Saudi Arabia. Rich in oil, one of the world's richest country. They are capable of paying that whooping amount of money.

Rosie Said......This is exactly what i ve been saying........Negligence and somebody taking responsibility. People will say, will the money bring back the dead? The answer is NO, But it will sure help out the families of the dead: But most importantly ,people will learn to be less negligent when they know that there is a consequence for their actions.

And people will be asking for TB Joshua to be left alone. Shey Mecca is also a holy ground? He better start compensating as well

Asampokoto said...

See the beauty of Islam. Dis is what we call a responsible govt, it dint end there. 500,000SR for injured victims and to have an all expense paid hajj next year with two of members of their family. Justice served. Meanwhile d construction company has being banned from Saudi Arabia.

Thanks so much for this, people will fail to see this beauty of Islam in this. All they do is find errors from people that claim to be Muslims in order to say it's a bad religion,and not finding time to know about about the religion itself . Islam is truely beautiful in all aspects. May Allah make our people to understand better.
