Burial ceremony of late Aminu Dantata moved to Tuesday – Information Minister 

The Burial arrangement of Alhaji Aminu Dantata, has been slated for Tuesday, in Medina, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Announcing this in a statement, the Minister of Information, Muhammad Idris, said the shift in the burial date of the businessman was necessitated by the late arrival of his body to the City of Medina.

Speaking to BBC Hausa service, the Minister explained that there are rules and regulations upon which the Saudi Arabian Government receive corpses from outside its country and they are now aligning with those regulations to complete the arrangement.

The Minister said they would complete all the necessary legal requirements by Tuesday after which Dantata would be buried same day.

In the same vein the Kano and Jigawa State Governor’s in the company of the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II and former Governor of Jigawa State, Ali Saad Birnin Kudu are already in Medina for the burial.
