In line with this, President Tinubu had sent his VP. Shettima off to London to escort the remains of late Buhari’s body back to his hometown in Katsina.<\/p>\n

Recall that on May 29, after his second term ended, Buhari left Aso Rock and relocated to his hometown of Daura, where he was allegedly tending to his cattle.<\/p>\n

On February 25, 2025, however, Buhari<\/a> returned to his home in Kaduna, a move that several Nigerians ascribed to the upcoming general elections in 2027.<\/p>\n

Shortly after his demise on Sunday, hundreds of Nigerians gathered at his residence in Kaduna to mourn and pay their last respects.<\/p>\n

Armed soldiers patrolled the street, and two military gun trucks were positioned at strategic locations close to the residence, strengthening security in the region.<\/p>\n
