Aliko Dangote personally escorted the remains of his great-uncle, the late Alhaji Aminu Dantata, from Abu Dhabi to Madinah. While the initial text doesn't confirm Femi Otedola's physical presence, his likely attendance, given the stature of the deceased and Dangote's involvement, underscores the widespread respect for Dantata among Nigeria's business elite.

Dantata will be interred at the revered Baqiyya cemetery in Madinah. This significant event highlights the deep connections within Nigeria's prominent families and their adherence to Islamic traditions.

The body arrived in Madinah this morning, june 30, 2025. The Janazah prayer, a central Islamic funeral rite, is scheduled to take place at the Holy Prophet's Mosque after the Asr prayer, around 1:30 PM Nigerian time.

This solemn occasion has drawn numerous family members, friends, and well-wishers who have traveled to Saudi Arabia to pay their final respects. The gathering is a testament to Dantata's immense influence as a business mogul and philanthropist.

May Allah grant mercy upon his soul and ensure a safe return for all those who journeyed to attend the Janazah in the holy city.
