Members of his immediate family were still on the plane as the crowd and dignataries led by President Tinubu await his remains to be moved to the waiting hearse to head to Daura.
 
On hand to receive the aircraft was a crowd of people who were chanting Sai Baba, with others crying and also chanting his name and running after the aircraft as it taxied to a stop.
