Buhari’s burial, held according to Islamic rites, signaled the end of a solemn national farewell to a leader who once steered the country both as military Head of State and as a democratically elected President.

His remains were interred at 5:50pm after a funeral prayer was led by the Imam of the Central Mosque in Daura, Sheikh Salisu Rabiu. In a powerful display of tradition and military honor, Army Generals and Service Chiefs bore the coffin to the graveside, where a 21-gun salute echoed across Daura, sealing the final chapter of Buhari’s public life.
