Buhari condemns suicide bombing in Medina
- Condoles with Saudi authorities
President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the suicide bombing in Medina which occurred on Monday near Prophet Mohammed’s mosque in Islam’s second holiest city in Saudi Arabia.
In a statement by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, to the President, Buhari condoling with Saudi authorities over the reprehensible attack, remarked that 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 Medina 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, urging 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.”
