The Saudi Arabia government has approved the transportation of the corpse of the late elder statesman and business mogul, Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata, from Abu Dhabi to the holy city of Madinah for burial.
Late Dantata died in the early hours of Saturday in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Alhaji Mustapha Abdullahi Junaidu, the Private Principal Secretary to the late billionaire, stated this on Sunday via his verified Facebook page.
He posted, “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 morning, InshaAllah.”
He explained that the delay in finalising the burial arrangements was partly due to the weekend, which affected the pace of processing the necessary documentation and approvals.
