Katsina State Governor Mr Dikko Radda announced this while addressing journalists at the Government House on Monday, minutes after his return from London.
Mr Radda said he consulted with the late President’s family before leaving London, and a decision was made to bury him on Tuesday.
The governor, who was flanked by Mr Buhari’s nephews, Fatuhu Mohammed and Musa Haro, said the late president’s body will arrive in Katsina by noon on Tuesday.
“….we’ve made consultations with the people around him in London, and we concluded that the body will arrive in Katsina tomorrow (Tuesday) at about 12 noon and the burial is going to take place in Daura at about 2 p.m.
“So, these are the arrangements in place. We pray to Almighty Allah to grant his soul peace and may Allah grant him Aljanna Firdausi,” the governor said. – premiumtimesng.com
