The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has approved the burial of late Nigerian business icon and elder statesman, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, in the holy city of Madinah, fulfilling one of his most heartfelt wishes.

According to a statement from his relative, Sanusi Dantata, the deceased had long expressed a desire to be laid to rest in the city of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), a wish that will now be honored following approval from Saudi authorities.

From Abu Dhabi to Madinah
Alhaji Dantata passed away on Friday in Abu Dhabi. While initial reports indicated that arrangements were still being made to move his remains to Madinah, there were contingency plans in place to return his body to Kano for burial if the approval process took too long.
