The statement said Saliu Mohammed, who arrived with Batch 3 of the state contingent, died at the intensive care unit of a public hospital in Madina after suddenly falling ill, while Hajia Hawawu Mohammed (Batch 9) died following what Saudi authorities have investigated and found to be an unfortunate suicidal episode from the rooftop of her apartment in Madina.
