His remains were flown into Sabon Gari on Saturday where his Janazah prayer was conducted at the Sabon Gari Juma’at mosque before he was buried at his residence.
However, speaking to Daily Trust after the burial, Shehu Iya Sai’du, who holds the title of Tafidan Dawakin Zazzau and a foster son to the late Iyan Zazzau, said the rumours of the assassination were unfounded.
He added that being one of the closest persons to the late Prince, he can reliably confirm that the deceased died of natural causes.
“He has been ill, but because he was a very brave man, many people didn’t know about it except for those of us who were very close to him,” he said.
