Burial arrangement of the late business mogul, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, has been moved to today (Tuesday), in Medina, Saudi Arabia.
This was announced yesterday in a statement by the Minister of Information, Muhammad Idris.
Idris said the shift in the burial date 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.
He said they would complete the necessary legal requirements by today after which Dantata would be buried same day.
In the same vein, Kano and Jigawa State governors 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.
