His relative Sama'uddin Aliyu Kadawa witnessed the tragic events in Makkah.
Doctors first treated Jibrin at King Abdulazeez Hospital for two days. Medical staff released him after his health got better. His condition became worse again and family rushed him back to the hospital. Nigerian doctors and Saudi medical teams tried to save him but failed. Jibrin died around 2:50 in the morning from heart problems.
