It was a heartbreaking moment in Daura on Tuesday as Fatima Buhari, the first daughter of late former President Muhammadu Buhari, arrived visibly in tears ahead of his burial.
Fatima, overwhelmed with grief, was spotted crying as she made her way into the family home. Surrounded by relatives and close friends, including prominent APC figure Maryam Shettima, she was comforted as preparations continued for her father’s final rites.
Family members, political associates, and mourners have begun gathering at Buhari’s Daura residence, where the late statesman will be laid to rest later today.
According to the funeral schedule, Buhari will be buried at his private residence in Daura after the Jana’iza (Islamic funeral prayer), which was held at the Emir’s Palace by 2 p.m.
The atmosphere in Daura remains somber as Nigerians continue to mourn the loss of the former president, who passed away in London on July 13, 2025, at the age of 82.
