Security has been beefed up at the residence of late President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, his hometown in Katsina State.
This just as the body of the late President is being expected to be flown in from London.
President Bola Tinubu, who will personally receive the body at Umaru Musa Yar’adua Airport in Katsina, had earlier asked Vice-President Kashim Shettima and Femi Gbajabiamila, his Chief of Staff, to proceed to the UK to accompany the body home.
While policemen and men of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) were positioned at strategic places.
A source who walked out of the compound confirmed to Journalists that the digging of grave had commenced.
Earlier, Peak Newspaper Nigeria gathered that a portion of the late leader’s residence had been marked for his interment.
