Mr Buhari died on Sunday at a London Clinic after a prolonged illness. The former president, who has served the country both as a military officer and as an elected president, died at the age of 82.

Nana Buhari, daughter of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, has offered a heartfelt defence of her father’s legacy, saying many Nigerians never truly knew the man behind the public image.

The burial attracted international dignitaries including President Umaru Sissoci Embaló of Guinea-Bissau, Prime Minister of Niger Republic, Ali Lamine Zeine, and former President of Niger Issoufou Mahamadou.

Mr Buhari’s remains arrived at the Katsina airport, at about 2:07 p.m., shortly after President Tinubu touched down at the same place.

Mr Buhari is expected to be buried in his hometown, Daura, Katsina State, on Tuesday.
