Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari was buried in Daura, his hometown, after passing away at the age of 82 in London. He struggled with an undisclosed illness and was often treated abroad. The memorial service attracted thousands, including current President Bola Tinubu, who declared a week of national mourning. Buhari’s leadership spanned two terms—first as a military ruler and then as an elected president. His legacy included severe human rights restrictions and economic challenges. A military parade and 21 gun salutes occurred during the funeral, demonstrating national respect.
Buhari led Nigeria twice—first as a military dictator from 1983 to 1985 and later as a democratically elected president from 2015 to 2023, leaving behind a complex legacy.
Thousands attended Buhari's funeral in Daura, with President Bola Tinubu and regional leaders honoring a man remembered for his human rights clampdown and economic policies.
