As the burial of late former President Muhammadu Buhari holds on Tuesday (today), insights from his kinsmen, domestic workers, neighbours, and close associates reveal how he spent his last two years at his Daura country home after leaving office.
Buhari, 82, died in a London hospital on Sunday and will be laid to rest at his compound in Daura, Katsina State, today, closing the chapter of a life marked by service, humility, and compassion.
Before the burial, however, some of his staff members said Buhari was well-known for his compassion towards animals, especially his pets.
Some of his domestic staff told The PUNCH that the former President cherished three tortoises aged 28 and 30, along with a great kiskadee bird that frequently visited them.
Rest in Peace Former President.
