In a solemn display of respect and mourning, several residents and admirers of late President Muhammadu Buhari in Plateau State gathered to observe the Salatul Gha’ib—a special Islamic prayer offered in absentia for the deceased.
The prayer session, held at various mosques across the state, was dedicated to seeking Allah’s forgiveness and mercy for the late former president, who passed away on Sunday after a protracted illness.
Imams led the faithful in offering prayers, invoking Allah to admit Buhari into Jannatul Firdaus, the highest level of paradise in Islam.
Participants described the late President as a symbol of discipline and patriotism, acknowledging his impact on national leadership and governance.
The mood was reflective, with attendees offering personal tributes and extending condolences to the Buhari family and the people of Katsina State.
