Merchants of evil responsible for Saudi bombings -Buhari


President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday condemned the Monday suicide bombing which occurred on Islam’s second holiest city, Madinah, Saudi Arabia.
He described those responsible for the attacks as merchants of evil.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President condoled with Saudi authorities over the attack, saying 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. 
He said the attacks had again shown that terrorism was not about religion.
 
Buhari 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.”
 
The President also urged nations to remain vigilant, “so that we can collectively beat the forces of darkness on the prowl round the globe.” 
 
He stressed 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,” the President said.
