The Nigerian elite have turned Kaduna state into a Mecca in honour of late Bukar Shettima, a retired police chief, who died at the age of 94.

Among the notable Nigerians who paid condolence visit to the family of the deceased include: Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state, former Vice President Namadi Sambo, Governor Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger state, Alh. Aliko Dangote, Muhammadu Sanusi II, former governors of Kaduna state, Alhaji Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi, Alhaji Mukhtar Ramalan Yero and the former governor of Adamawa state, Alhaji Jibrila Bindo.
