According to intelligence findings that have come to light, an American citizen named Alex Barbir who entered Nigeria, specifically Plateau State, is allegedly spreading religious hatred between Muslims and Christians and attempting to incite conflict.
There are strong accusations against him that he is a mercenary soldier and a contractor.
It has been confirmed that Alex Barbir is a member of the Blackwater organization, a private military contractor group that is funded to engage in wars and train rebel and terrorist groups around the world.
It is also claimed that Alex Barbir previously stayed in Syria where he trained ISIS militants.
To support these allegations, observers are asked to look at the bag he was carrying on his back after the terrorist attack that occurred yesterday in the Rukuba area of Jos city.
In the circled and arrow-marked area, you can see four different logos attached to the back of his bag:
The first logo is the flag of his country, the United States.
The second logo represents his organization, “Blackwater,” a private military group based in the U.S. that is hired to train rebels and terrorist organizations.
The third logo belongs to the American “Crusader” group, described as an armed group in the U.S. with an ideology of hatred toward Black people and Muslims.
The fourth logo is that of the “Gadsden” group, described as an armed group in the U.S. said to have originated from a figure named Christopher Gadsden in the 17th century.
This explanation is provided to help investigators understand who Alex Barbir is, his background, and his purpose for coming to Nigeria while displaying these symbols on his bag.
It is now left to the federal government authorities to instruct security agencies to take appropriate action against him before he succeeds in igniting a conflict that may not be easily extinguished in Nigeria.
We pray that God will deal with him.
This guy is on a mission to instigate religious war between Christians and Muslims in jos,
Enough is enough, Alex Barbir should be on the next flight home. He’s doing a lot behind the scene to fuel a religious war.
WHO IS ALEX BARBIR?
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Alex Daniel Barbir was born on August 17, 1997, in Lawrenceville, Georgia. He was raised in Cumming, Georgia, alongside his brother, Josh Barbir, who significantly influenced Alex's later career path. Josh is a high achieving professional in his own right, serving as a Captain and Medical Officer in the United States Army Reserve while practicing as a physician in Florida.
Alex first made a name for himself as a standout athlete at South Forsyth High School. Known for his powerful 5’9, 200 pound frame, he was far more athletic than the typical American football kicker.
His college career began with high expectations when he initially committed to Rutgers University, only to perform a high profile flip to join the Penn State Nittany Lions, one of the most elite programs in American college football.
However, a severe hip injury a torn labrum that required surgerynderailed his progress and left him disillusioned with the high pressure environment of big time sports. Feeling spiritually and physically drained, Alex quit football entirely in 2018 and transferred to Liberty University as a private citizen.
He intended to leave sports behind forever, focusing instead on his education and his faith, eventually enrolling in the Liberty University College of Osteopathic Medicine (LUCOM) to follow his brother’s path into medicine.
The trajectory of his life changed again in 2020 when a sudden opening on the Liberty football team led him to attempt a fairytale comeback. On November 7, 2020, Alex secured his place in American sports history by kicking a 51-yard, game-winning field goal to defeat Virginia Tech, marking the greatest victory in his school's history. This moment of national fame provided him with the platform he needed to launch his next chapter.
Leveraging his reputation as a miracle athlete and a physician, Alex transitioned into the humanitarian sector. He founded his own brand, Building Zion, but he primarily operates under the logistical and financial umbrella of Equipping the Persecuted (ETP), an American NGO led by Judd Saul. ETP provides the infrastructure, specialized security equipment, and global fundraising reach that allows Alex to conduct boots on the ground operations in Nigeria’s Middle Belt.
However, his mission in Nigeria has become a source of deep controversy and is viewed as a strategic deception designed to sow national division. While Alex presents himself to Western audiences as a humanitarian doctor rebuilding destroyed villages, his methods are highly provocative. He is frequently seen in viral videos using religious scripture to frame complex territorial and resource conflicts as a Holy War. By pushing a narrative of state sponsored genocide against Christians, he directly challenges the authority of the President and the Nigerian State. His rhetoric often tells grieving communities that their government is slaughtering them or doing absolutely nothing, a tactic that undermines the trust between citizens and state security agencies.
Alex's work is defined by selective outrage. While he highlights the suffering of one group to drive international donations and boost his image in America, he remains silent on the thousands of Muslims also slaughtered by the same terrorists in mosques and villages. By simplifying multifaceted security crises into a dramatic good vs. evil binary for a global audience, Alex Barbir is inciting the very religious tensions that destabilize the nation, making the work of local peacebuilders and military operatives exponentially more difficult.
Today it's Sani @Waspapping_, tomorrow it could be you or me.
We may not support his views, but silence is not an option. His arrest is a clear injustice and attack on freedom of expression.
