U.S. Missionary Alex Barbir Ordered to Leave Nigeria After Criticising Government on Christian Killings

A former presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, has claimed that American missionary Alex Barbir was ordered to leave Nigeria over allegations of inciting religious tensions. Ahmad, who served under President Buhari and remains an APC member, said Barbir’s public criticism of the government’s handling of recent attacks on Christian communities threatened national unity. There has been no official confirmation of this directive from government authorities. Barbir has been vocal about killings in Plateau State and other regions, blaming Fulani militias and calling out the federal government’s response. He also disputed a state proposal valuing a village market reconstruction at ₦300 million, insisting it could be built for ₦60 million.
