Business tycoon in Northern Nigeria, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, has died at the age of 94.

A family source confirmed that the death of the late Dantata occurred in the early hours of Saturday at a hospital in Abu Dhabi, the Capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Indeed, from Allah we are and to Him we shall return!

“Pls pray for Alh. Aminu Dantata, who passed away a couple of hours ago in Abu Dhabi”.

“He was the last surviving child of Alhassan Dantata, (Dantata, himself!)”

“May Allah forgive him & grant him Jannat-Al-Firdaus, Ameen!”

“He died at about 3 am Nigerian time at a hospital in Abu Dhabi, where he was recuperating from a brief illness,” the source disclosed.

Although the source said arrangements for Islamic funeral rites would be communicated sooner, it is most likely that the remains of the deceased would be flown to Madina, Saudi Arabia, for interment.
