President Muhammadu Buhari has denounced as worrisome escalation, the drone strikes in the United Arab Emirates that caused explosions and a deadly fire outside the capital, Abu Dhabi.
In a reaction to the Monday incident, President Buhari said such attacks targeting innocent people and civilian infrastructure, leading to the loss of lives were condemnable by all reasonable opinions around the globe and should be stopped, a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu said on Tuesday.
“On behalf of the government and the people of Nigeria, we express our deepest sympathies and condolences to the people and the friendly state of the UAE,” said the President.
President Buhari urged restraint to give dialogue and engagement a chance, the statement added.
