About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Sokoto, the administrative centre of Sokoto Province on the north-western boundary of Nigeria is 222 kilometres by road from Gusau. The cemetery, situated in open land near the western side of the Provincial Office, contains the graves of 12 Commonwealth soldiers of the 1939-1945 War.

The burials at Oni Cemetery were moved to this cemetery in 1967.
