Abba Kyari’s burial (Photos)
After about 10 minutes of funeral rite in the Islamic way in the Defence House, the shrouded remains of presidential CoS Abba Kyari were buried in a grave at the Gudu Cemetery, Abuja.
Kyari, many say, was one of the most powerful men in Nigeria.
He died on Friday in Lagos after losing the battle to Covid-19, and his corpse was flown to Abuja early Saturday for the final burial under the supervision of the NCDC.
The presidency has canceled all forms of condolences.
