President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with the government of Saudi Arabia over Monday’s suicide bombings in their three cities, including Madinah, Islam’s second holiest city.
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adeshina, Buhari condemned the attacks as a desecration of all that was holy and sacred in Islam.
"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 said.
He called for vigilance among the nations , "so that we can collectively beat the forces of darkness on the prowl round the globe."
President Buhari pointed out that terrorism no longer respects international boundaries, and charged humanity to rise as one body "to excise this vermin from our body polity, and assert our liberty from those who pander to base and vicious instincts.
"With our collective resolve, we shall beat terrorism. Around the world and around the clock, let us be alert. And we would remain free and safe," he said.
