By Reporter

Former Nigerian military head who passed away on Sunday, July 13, 2025, in a highbrow ‘London Clinic’, has been buried in his Daura residence in Katsina State, after his body was brought from London by Vice President Kashim Shettima.

President Bola Tinubu, his Vice Shettima, joined thousands of sympathisers to lay the remains of the late military head of state and President to rest.

The Chadian President, Muhammed Debby, and his counterpart from Guinea Bissau, Umaru Sasseko, as well as Prime Minister of Niger Republic, Ali Muhammane were on ground to pay their last respect.

In attendance also were the Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, serving and former governors, former and serving Ministers among many other sympathizers.

The funeral prayer which was observed at the helipad area of the former President’s hometown was led by the Chief Imam of Daura, Sheikh Salisu Rabiu.

The body arrived Katsina at about 2pm and was transported by road around 3:40pm.

The ceremonial gun salute was fired at exactly 5:32pm to 5:35 and was laid to rest around 6:pm.

The late military dictator who was praised for his no no sense attitude when he came to power after a successful military coup, later served two-terms as a civilian president after contesting several times unsuccessfully, in 2015.

Nigerians are divided in scoring his performance as president on the ticket of All Progressives Congress (APC).
