The President, alongside other dignitaries, will be taking the corpse to the deceased former leader’s hometown, Daura, where he will be laid to rest under Islamic rites in the state.
As gathered, the burial site for the former leader has been dug inside his residence, where sympathizers have gathered to pay their last respects to the ex-president who passed on at the age of 82 after a brief illness.
