Buhari to be buried today in Daura.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari will be laid to rest today in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State. 

Governor Dikko Radda announced the burial arrangements during a press briefing on Monday, stating that the decision was made after consultations with Buhari's family and close associates in London.

Buhari's remains are expected to arrive in Katsina by noon today, with the burial ceremony scheduled to take place at 2pm in Daura. 

The Katsina State Government is working closely with federal authorities and the family to ensure a dignified and honorable farewell for the former leader. 

A presidential delegation, including Vice President Kashim Shettima and Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, arrived in London on Monday to coordinate the repatriation of Buhari's remains.

Buhari died on Sunday at a London hospital after a prolonged illness, at the age of 82. 

Governor Radda extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, the people of Katsina State, and the entire nation, describing Buhari as a national icon whose legacy will endure, praying that Almighty Allah grants him eternal rest and rewards him with Aljannatul Firdaus.
