Following Monday’s bombing in Saudi Arabia by Islamic terrorists, the Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Senator Shehu Sani, on Tuesday said the world must not give up or surrender to terror no matter the ferocity and destructive result of their action.
Sani added that the suicide attacks across three cities in Saudi Arabia have shown that nowhere in the world is safe.
Sani, who condemned the acts in a statement made available to newsmen, called on world leaders to take the battle to the doorstep of extremists.
Sani said people should no longer respond only after such attacks happen, but unite to crush groups perpetrating the dastardly acts.
He added that the incidents have revealed that extremist groups hiding under the cover of Islam have a different agenda.
He said: “The reported multiple Bombings in the Holy City of Medina and other places in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stands condemned.
“Those who perpetrated this evil are satanic,ungodly and barbaric;Terrorism represent a common danger to humanity and the World.The Bombing of Saudia should spark the World to a new coordinated and concerted action to combat the menace of Terror.
“It’s time for the People of the World to abandon its petty social, economic, political, religious or doctrinaire differences to collectively stand up against this common evil. Terror groups aim is to conquer and control the World by the systemic spread of violence,fear and deaths in all locations,we must be awakened by this reality and unite to save the World.
“The attack on Saudi Arabian Holy places is the most destructive attack on the soul and conscience of humanity.Terrorism is shear evil whose proponents claim to be guided by religion but actually guided by the opposite of it.Terrorists disrespect for religious site as well as for human lives established their identity as a roving, blood thirsty lunatics on an evil mission to exterminate and annihilate humanity. It’s time for humanity to stop waiting for the terrorist, it’s time for the terrorists to start waiting for us.
“The World can defeat terror if it can defeat is differences,it’s sentiments and its complacency.Terrorists have successfully made everywhere unsafe for us,we must make everywhere inhabitable and inhospitable for them.
“The World must not give up or surrender to terror no matter the ferocity and destructive result of their action.The reported attack on Saudi Arabia should clear all doubts on the mission of terrorists and their violent agenda.
“Saudi Arabia is a strong ally of Nigeria and of Africa. We must stand not just shoulder to shoulder but heart to heart in solidarity with them.”
