The remains of the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kogi state’s last Saturday election Prince Abubakar Audu has been laid to rest.
His remains were buried at about 1.50 pm in his country home on Monday, online newspaper Premium Times reported. Imams led the burial rites with prayers.
Some former governors present at the burial include George Akume of Benue state, Abdulkadir Kure of Niger state, Lucky Igbinedion of Edo state and Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano state.
Also present to pay last respect to the departed former governor of Kogi state was Dino Melaye amongst others.
Audu’s remains were buried at a grave in his expansive compound in the presence of a mammoth crowd who earlier insisted that he was still alive after rumour spread that some prayer warriors had prayed over his body. There was heavy security presence.
