Former presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, has called for the investigation and possible arrest of a United States-based missionary, Alex Barbir, following a controversial video he shared online.
The development comes hours after Barbir posted a video criticising President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over fresh attacks in Plateau State.
Reports indicate that more than 10 persons were killed when gunmen attacked Anguwan Rukuba community in Jos North Local Government Area on Sunday, March 29.
In the video, Barbir accused the Nigerian government of failing to address insecurity and protect Christian communities, alleging that the President had not done enough to end the violence.
Reacting, Ahmad alleged that the missionary’s actions could incite unrest.
He stated that Barbir has been moving around openly, “spreading hate and attempting to incite violence against Nigerians of diverse backgrounds.”
Ahmad further called on relevant authorities to act swiftly.
He urged them to “take swift and lawful steps to investigate, apprehend, where necessary and ensure accountability to safeguard peace, unity and public order.”
