Buhari’s remains are being transported aboard a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft and are expected to land in Katsina later today.

The federal government has announced full state burial honours for Buhari, who led Nigeria both as a military Head of State (1983–1985) and as a democratically elected President (2015–2023).

He passed away on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at a London hospital following a long illness that had kept him out of public view in recent weeks.

Heightened security measures have been put in place across Katsina State as dignitaries, top federal officials, and military personnel prepare to attend the solemn ceremony.
