Attahiru and 10 other military officers were on board a Beechcraft 350 aircraft that crashed near Kaduna International Airport on Friday.
The president had asked Bashir Magashi, defence minister, to represent him at the funeral which took place at the National Military Cemetery in Abuja but this did not sit well with some Nigerians as they took to Twitter to show their disappointment.
“This funeral of former Chief of Army staff held in Abuja, Buhari and his VP Osinbajo were absent. The most irresponsible govt in the history of this country,” Somto Onuchukwu tweeted.
