Buhari and Idiagbon Released from Prison
After being detained for three years and four months, Muhammadu Buhari and Tunde Idiagbon were finally released from prison on December 14th and 15th, 1985. Buhari arrived at his family home in Daura, Katsina State, in the early hours of the morning, accompanied by security agents. Despite the emotional challenge of having missed his mother’s burial by just 12 hours, Buhari joined the traditional vigil prayers. His brother, Dauda Daura, was overjoyed to see him and warmly welcomed him home.
The news of Buhari’s release sparked excitement among the crowd, who were thrilled to see the former Head of State return home.
