The cloud over Daura was heavily laden with grief, sadness, and mixed emotions on Tuesday. The sombre cloud later shed tears, soaking the soil of the rustic town in Katsina State, as friends and family members laid the remains of former President Muhammadu Buhari to rest in the agrarian community.

It was a solemn moment as the lifeless body of the 82-year-old was brought out of a casket, draped in sparkling green-white-green Nigerian colours, and lowered into the earth at exactly 5:50 pm in the presence of grieving children, family members, and associates.

Buhari’s body is lowered into the grave.
