Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Buhari’s former spokesperson, Garba Shehu, confirmed that burial arrangements are well underway, including the excavation of a grave at the late president’s private residence in Daura.
“The body departed London at 7:48 am and is expected to arrive after a 7-hour flight. The grave is currently being prepared,” Shehu stated.
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.
In a departure from the norm, Buhari will be laid to rest within his personal compound in Daura, rather than at a public or state cemetery.
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.
