He argued that Nigerians are sometimes punished for expressing their opinions, while certain foreigners are allowed to operate without consequences. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1524595905268-5'); }); “Now, it is unjustifiable to arrest Nigerians for expressing their views or opinions about other countries, while at the same time allowing a foreigner to operate freely within our borders, publicly spreading hatred and attempting to incite violence,” he said. Ahmad specifically mentioned an individual identified as Alex Babir, alleging that his activities could threaten public peace if not addressed promptly. He called on relevant security and government agencies to act in the interest of national stability. “The relevant authorities should take immediate steps to caution Alex Babir and, if necessary, apprehend him, then send him back to his country in the interest of maintaining peace and order,” Ahmad added. Babir was seen in videos spreading falsehoods about Islam, inciting already angry residents whose families were murdered by yet-to-be-identified terrorists.
