Former President Buhari Laid To Rest In Daura Amid Tears And Prayers

The remains of former President Muhammadu Buhari were laid to rest in his hometown, Daura, Katsina State, on Tuesday, in a solemn ceremony that drew dignitaries from across the nation and beyond.

The burial, conducted according to Islamic rites, marked the culmination of a period of profound national mourning for a leader who served Nigeria both as a military Head of State and a democratically elected president.

The body was interred after a prayer session led by the Chief Imam of Katsina State at 5:50pm.

In a display of unity, Army Generals and Service Chiefs bore the remains of Buhari on a stretcher to his graveside for interment and followed with a 21-gun salute, symbolising a collective final honour from the nation’s military leadership.
