Abuja [Nigeria], July 16: Nigeria's former President Muhammadu Buhari has been buried at his home in northern Nigeria two days after his death at the age of 82 at a clinic in London. His body was flown back to the country earlier on Tuesday and his successor, Bola Tinubu, was at the airport in Katsina state to receive the remains. It was then taken to Buhari's home town of Daura, where, with hundreds attending, Islamic funeral prayers were held at the central mosque. His body was finally interred in a grave dug in the grounds of his home with dignitaries including Tinubu, Guinea-Bissau President Umaro Sissoco Embalo and Buhari's Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo present.
