Nigeria's President
Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with
his Majesty, King Salman, the people of
Saudi Arabia and the worldwide Islamic
community over the tragic loss of lives in
Friday’s crane collapse at the Grand Mosque
of Mecca.
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant
on Publicity & Media to the President,
Shehu Garba, on Saturday, said the
President also urged all Nigerians to pray
for the continued safety of their
compatriots who are currently in Saudi
Arabia for this year’s Hajj.
“He prays that Almighty Allah will receive the souls of those killed in the incident and grant the injured speedy recovery,” the statement added. However, as details of the deaths and injuries sustained in the unfortunate incident unfold, President Buhari has directed the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nigerian Embassy in Saudi Arabia to closely monitor developments and take necessary action to ensure the security and well-being of all Nigerian pilgrims.
