President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the suicide bombing that occurred on Monday in Madinah, Saudi Arabia claiming 4 lives and throwing residents into disarray.
Buhari in his statement described the explosion was a desecration
of all that was sacred and holy, as it took place near the Prophet
Muhammad’s Mosque, and on one of the holy days of Ramadan according to
Premium Times.
Madinah is Islam’s second holiest city which is being visited by
Muslims all over the world for religious purposes. The president through
one of his presidential media aides, Femi Adesina said; “The
merchants of evil have once again shown that there is nothing religious
in their mindless acts, by striking near the Prophet’s Mosque. It
validates the claim that terrorism really has nothing to do with Islam.
Purveyors of terror are simply agents of the devil,”
“The fact that the Madinah bombing came the same day as a suicide bomber struck near the US Consulate in Jeddah, also in Saudi Arabia, shows that it was an orchestrated plan to foul up the Eid-el-Fitr celebration,” President Buhari asserted.
He urged nations to remain vigilant, “so that we can collectively beat the forces of darkness on the prowl round the globe”.
