The Saudi Arabian government has approved the burial of the prominent Kano business mogul and philanthropist Aminu Dantata to take place in Madina.
The Principal Private Secretary, PPS, to the deceased elder statesman, Mustapha Abdullahi Junaid, confirmed this in a post on his Facebook handle.
It will be recalled that the elder statesman Dantata passed away at the age of 94 years in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and was said to have written a will for the family to bury him in Madina after his demise.
The PPS, Junaid, posted on his Facebook handle, “an approval has been gotten to move the corpse of Aminu Dantata from Abu Dhabi to Madina for the burial tomorrow, Monday morning”.
Recall that hundreds of dignitaries, business communities, political class and government functionaries on Saturday observed the funeral prayer in absentia for the renowned Kano business mogul and philanthropist Aminu Dantata in Kano on Saturday.
The funeral prayer held at Umar Bin Khattab was led by the Chairman of the Kano State Council of Ulamas, Sheikh Ibrahim Khalil.
