President, Abibakr As-Sidiq Philanthropic Home,- an Islamic Charitable Organisation in Ilorin, Kwara state, Mallam AbdulRazzaq Ibrahim Salman, Sunday described the drone attacks on Saudi oil facilities in Khurais and Abqaiq as terrorism act.

In a statement condemning the attack issued in Ilorin, the Islamic cleric who is also Director, World Muslim Congress, Nigerian Office and Member of the Executive Council of World Muslim Congress,​ said the attacks which lacked any moral justification have no basis both​ in the holy qur’an and the teachings of the holy Prophet Muhammad .

“I call on the global community to stand strongly with Saudi Arabia government and the people of Saudi as such attacks on civilians and economic facilities are capable of causing additional unimaginable humanitarian crisis across the world ,”Abdulrazzaq said.​

The cleric called on muslims across the world to pray for the kingdom of Saudi Arabia at this critical moment as “any attack on Saudi Arabia is an attack on the entire Muslim World. The security and stability of the Kingdom is key to fulfillment of islamic rights and obligations.​”

Abdulrazzaq called on those behind the attacks to desist from escalating the fragile peace in the region but follow the path of honour and global peace and security.​
