Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari will be buried in the compound of his house in the northern state of Katsina on Tuesday, the state's Governor Dikko Radda told BBC Hausa. Radda was with Buhari's family in London, where he died in a clinic on Sunday aged 82.

Buhari, a former military general who campaigned on rooting out government corruption, has died at age 82, the presidential press office said in a statement on Sunday.

Muhammadu Buhari was laid to rest in his hometown, Daura, in northern Nigeria. He leaves behind a mixed legacy, having been both a former military leader and a democratically elected president.
