Business Tycoon Aminu Dantata Laid To Rest In Madinah (Photos) by Newsgeek24(op): 8:54pm On Jul 01, 2025

Renowned Nigerian businessman and philanthropist, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, was laid to rest on Tuesday evening in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, News360 Nigeria reports.

The respected elder statesman, who died in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, last weekend, was buried at the historic Baqiyya Cemetery amidst an outpouring of prayers and tributes.

Before the burial, funeral prayers were held at the Prophet’s Mosque shortly after the Asr prayer.

The Janazah prayer drew hundreds of mourners, including a delegation from the Federal Government of Nigeria, family members, close associates, and well-wishers who came together to honour his memory and pray for the peaceful repose of his soul.

Alhaji Aminu Dantata was a towering figure in Nigeria’s business and philanthropic landscape, known for his remarkable contributions to commerce, education, healthcare, and community development.

Over the years, he consistently championed charitable causes, offering support to the less privileged and investing in projects aimed at uplifting communities across the country.

He was a respected elder statesman and mentored other greats....but I had thought in Islam,the dead are buried before 4pm,the man I learnt died in Dubai and his wish was to be buried in medinah Saudi Arabia,his body was kept while they waited for permission from Saudi authorities.The body was then flown to Saudi for proper burial.
So in Islam,they rich have their ways.
RIP Dantata!!!

Burial is meant to be frugal but different private jets flew down to bury the dead

Shithole they made? The man did not govern or preside over you na, why will you blame him for the country's backwardness? He was a hugely successful business man , not a politician, and is entitled to be buried wherever he chooses

May he rest in eternal peace. Why is he buried in the Middle East as an African man. Southern Nigerians defer to white Jesus while Northern Nigerians worship Arab Mohammed .Emancipate yourself from mental slavery none but ourselves can free our minds.

So so person laid to rest (pictures) but I was surprised to see that the picture of where the deceased was laid to rest was not seen except where he was being carried. Only the people praying for his respose were pictured. The admin needs to up a lot here else people are misled with all these misleading titles. Or did you mean the people in the pictures are the ones laid to rest? 😞😕
