Barely two days after the demise of the Kano-born business mogul Alhaji Aminu Dantata, the Saudi Arabian authorities have approved the transportation of his body from Dubai to the holy city of Medina for his final Islamic rites.

This was disclosed by Alhaji Mustapha Junaidu, the principal private secretary to late Dantata in his verified Facebook account on Sunday.

He said the delay in completing the burial arrangements was partly due to the weekend break, which impacted the pace of documentation and approval processes to transport the body to Medina for burial.

“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 (Monday) morning, Insha Allah,” Junaidu stated.

On Saturday, the Kano State chapter of the Council of Ulama conducted a special prayer in Kano for the late Alhaji Dantata, who will be laid to rest beside his wife in Medina, Saudi Arabia.
