The remains of Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, mother of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, have arrived Abuja ahead of her burial rites.

The family confirmed that the deceased, who passed away on Friday, March 27, in Cairo after a brief illness, was flown into the Federal Capital Territory on Sunday morning.

Her grandson, Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, who represents Kaduna North Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, disclosed the development in a statement shared via X, outlining details of the funeral arrangements.

“This is to notify the general public that the remains of our grandmother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, has safely landed in Abuja. The Janazah Prayer is by 1 p.m. as announced last night,” he wrote.

He added, “The prayers will take place at the National Mosque and she will be buried at Gudu Cemetery by the grace of God. May Allah SWT bless her soul and all those that passed away before her.”

The Janazah prayer is scheduled to hold at the National Mosque Abuja, after which interment will take place at the Gudu Cemetery.

Late Hajiya Umma El-Rufai was said to have been living with her son in Cairo prior to her death.

She passed amid legal challenges involving her son, Nasir El-Rufai, who was recently in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission over allegations bordering on corruption and money laundering.

The former governor was arraigned before a Federal High Court in Kaduna on March 24 on a 10-count charge, with the case adjourned until March 31, 2026, for the hearing of pending applications, including his bail request.

He was , however, granted temporary release from custody to enable him attend the burial rites and be with his family.

Meanwhile, prominent Nigerians, including President Bola Tinubu, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and Kaduna State governor Uba Sani, have extended condolences and paid tribute to the late matriarch.
