“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, Insha Allah,” Junaidu wrote.
He noted that the slight delay in finalizing the burial arrangements was due to the weekend, which affected the pace of processing official documentation and approvals required for the interment.
Alhaji Aminu Dantata passed away in Abu Dhabi at the age of 94. His burial in Madinah aligns with his expressed wishes before his death, and plans are now in place to honor those final wishes in accordance with Islamic rites.
