Bashir Ahmad Insists Alex Barbir Was Expelled, Not a Voluntary Exit
On March 30, US missionary Alex Barbir announced he had left Nigeria amid calls for his arrest. He challenged critics to curb violence in his absence, referencing recent attacks by militant groups. Former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad and Islamic cleric Sheik Gumi had accused Alex of spreading hate and division. They urged security agencies to investigate and detain him. Reacting to Alex’s departure, Bashir claimed the missionary was forced out by authorities rather than leaving willingly. He accused Alex of a failed mission to incite anarchy and declared Nigeria stronger than any external influence.
