Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari was laid to rest in his hometown, Daura, Katsina State, on Tuesday, in a deeply emotional ceremony attended by top government officials, family, and international guests.

The Muhammadu Buhari burial took place following the Islamic funeral prayer (janaza) held around 4:50 pm.

His body, flown in from London earlier that day, arrived aboard a Nigerian Air Force aircraft. The flight was accompanied by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, and several senior government officials.

Security was extremely tight during the arrival and burial. Armed soldiers, DSS operatives, and armoured vehicles were seen securing major roads and key points in Daura.

The burial was conducted in accordance with Islamic customs and was filled with emotions as mourners gathered to pay their last respects.
