President Buhari has condemned the suicide
bombing in Madinah, which occurred on Monday in Islam's second holiest city.
Condoling with Saudi authorities over the reprehensible attack, President
Buhari said the development was a desecration of all that was sacred and holy,
as it took place near the Prophet's Mosque, and on one of the holy days of
Ramadan.
"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," President Buhari said. 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, and urges nations to
remain vigilant, "so that we can collectively beat the forces of darkness
on the prowl round the globe." President Buhari stresses that terrorism no
longer respects international boundaries, and charges 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.
