The remains of former President Muhammadu Buhari were laid to rest in his hometown, Daura, Katsina State, on Tuesday. The burial was conducted according to Islamic rites.

The body was interred after the funeral prayer led by the Imam of the Central Mosque in Daura, Sheikh Salisu Rabiu, 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.

The funeral prayers and interment took place at Buhari’s private residence, attended by a select gathering of family, close associates, and Islamic clerics.
