President Muhammadu Buhari has described as worrisome escalation, the drone strikes in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that caused explosions and a deadly fire outside the capital, Abu Dhabi.

In a reaction to the Monday incident, as expressed in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Alhaji Garba Shehu, and copy of which was sent to The DEFENDER, 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.

“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.
