Saudi Ambassador to Cameroon Mahmoud bin Hussein Qattan officially opened the Islamic Center of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz in Babenki village near the city of Bamenda in Cameroon, which the King ordered to be established at his own expense. A speech ceremony was held on this occasion. Addressing the ceremony, Ambassador Qattan talked about the story of establishing the center in the village of Babenki that began in 2007, when two Siamese female infants Rahimah and Hamidah were born and the King ordered to separate them in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, noting that upon their return to Cameroon, the parents of infants and all people of the village embraced Islam. He noted that when the King was informed of the news, he issued his directives to establish the center and to host 100 pilgrims at his own expenses. The Ambassador announced the King's donation with an amount of money for operation of the center which was handed over to the Center's Administration represented by Foundation of Development in Africa. In another speech, the Center's General Supervisor pointed out that the center contains a mosque that can accommodate about 600 worshipers, a clinic, and an elementary school for more than 130 students built on an area of 3000 square meters at a cost of SR two million.
