The former Cheif of Staff to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (Retd.), Abba Kyari, will be laid to rest today in Abuja.

Kyari who was Buhari's Chief of Staff until death, died Friday, April 17, 2020, according to a statement by the President's media aide, Garba Shehu.

Personal Assistant on New Media to the President, Bashir Ahmad, announced this via his Twitter handle.

Bashir tweeted, "Mallam Abba Kyari will be buried later today in Abuja according to Islamic rites."

The president's PA had earlier described late Kyari as a man of honour, as reported by MyNigeria.com.

In his first response to the death of Kyari, Ahmad tweeted, "Abba Kyari certainly was one of the most misunderstood people in the history of Nigeria. Those who had the opportunity to know him personally will tell you how extremely a good person he was. A man of honour will be remembered as someone who sacrificed his life for this country."
