The Saudi Arabian government has granted approval for the body of the late elder statesman and business mogul, Aminu Alhassan Dantata, to be transported from Abu Dhabi to the holy city of Madinah for burial, Okay.ng reports.
The development was confirmed on Sunday by Mustapha Abdullahi Junaidu, the Private Principal Secretary to the late Dantata, via a statement on his verified Facebook page.
“It has been confirmed that Aminu Alhassan Dantata will be transported from Abu Dhabi to the holy city of Madinah for his final rites. Authorities have granted the necessary approvals for the transfer, and preparations are underway for the Janazah (funeral prayer), scheduled to take place tomorrow morning, Insha Allah,” Junaidu wrote.
He explained that the delay in burial arrangements was due to the weekend, which slowed the processing of documentation and official approvals.
Aminu Dantata, a towering figure in Nigerian business and public life, passed away in the early hours of Saturday.
