Heightened Security In Daura As Citizens Await Buhari’s Body

‎On Tuesday, security personnel were deployed around the Daura residence of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, as burial preparations entered an advanced stage.
‎
‎Operatives from the Department of State Services and the Nigerian Army were positioned at the main entrance, while officers from the Nigeria Police and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps maintained surveillance at key locations around the area.
‎

‎A section of the compound specifically a garden next to the main building has been designated as Buhari’s burial site.
‎
‎Several men, believed to be family members, were seen digging the grave.
‎
‎Journalists and members of the public were barred from entering the area where the grave was being prepared, as security agents enforced tight access control.
‎
‎President Bola Tinubu is expected to personally receive Buhari’s remains at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Airport in Katsina.
‎
‎Previously, Tinubu had instructed Vice President Kashim Shettima and Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila to travel to the United Kingdom to accompany the body back to Nigeria.
