The burial ceremony of late elder statesman and business tycoon, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, has been officially rescheduled for Tuesday in Medina, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Muhammad Idris, who cited the late arrival of the deceased’s body as the reason for the adjustment in burial plans.
