The pilot of crashed air force jet was laid to rest.
The family of the late pilot had earlier performed a proxy funeral prayer (Salatul Gha’ib) for the deceased at Gaskiya Corporation mosque in Tudun Jukun, Zaria.
An elder brother of the deceased, Abubakar Adamu, in an interview with Daily Trust, explained that the family earlier performed a proxy funeral prayer in absentia for the dead when they could not receive the corpse of the late pilot.
He said, “When we concluded that we might not see the corpse of late Ibrahim, the family decided to conduct a funeral prayer for the deceased in absentia, which was observed on Thursday as ordained by our religion, Islam.
“Such prayer in Islam is called Salatul Gha’ib, and it is observed when the deceased’s corpse is not found. Therefore, as relatives, we have a religious burden to pray with or without the corpse.
“However, now that the corpse has been discovered, it is also mandatory for us to perform another funeral prayer for the deceased which is not out of place. And that’s what we just did.”
