In a conversation with Punch, Dallatu clarified that the Emir was not in Nigeria at the time of the funeral, as he had traveled to the United Kingdom for an official assignment. He added that Sanusi was expected to return to the country on Wednesday.

“The Emir could not attend. He is currently abroad on official duty in London and should be back on Wednesday,” he explained.

Further findings by the publication indicated that Sanusi participated in the 2025 Access Bank Polo Tournament in Surrey, England, over the weekend, where he was spotted alongside international dignitaries, including England’s football manager, Thomas Tuchel.

Meanwhile, the 15th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, was present at Buhari’s state burial in Daura. His attendance was confirmed by his spokesperson, Abubakar Naisa, who noted that he was accompanied by fellow traditional rulers from Jigawa State.

“Yes, His Highness Aminu Ado Bayero departed Kano on Tuesday morning to pay his final respects in Daura,” Naisa said. “He was joined by the Emirs of Kazaure and Dutse.”

The Kano Emirate remains at the center of a leadership controversy since the 2020 dethronement of Sanusi II by former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
