The residence of late former President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina State, has begun receiving a stream of dignitaries and political figures ahead of his scheduled burial on Tuesday.
Among the early arrivals are Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, and former Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun.
Vice President Kashim Shettima, who is currently in London on the directive of President Bola Tinubu, is leading a Federal Government delegation to facilitate the repatriation of the late President’s remains.
Sources indicate that official documentation is underway to release Buhari’s body to the Nigerian authorities, with the delegation expected to return to Nigeria ahead of the burial ceremony in Daura.
