Ichor Joshua, a water specialist and entrepreneur who moved with and drove American missionary Alex Barbir in Nigeria, has shared something unusual he observed when they were on the go.

Alex Barbir: Man's unusual observation
Sharing his pictures with Barbir, Joshua, in a Facebook post on Sunday, April 5, disclosed that he noticed that his SUV was constantly being followed by some strange cars during the short time he moved with and drove Barbir in Nigeria.
He observed the same strange cars following him even when he was no longer with Barbir. Joshua claimed that evil was working very hard in Nigeria to silence the truth and keep the faithful under bondage.
Joshua, however, declared that the truth can never be hidden under the sun. In his words:
"For the short time I moved with and drove Mr Barbir in Nigeria, my SUV was constantly followed by strange cars even when I was no longer with him. Evil is working so hard in Nigeria to silence the truth and keep the faithful under bondage, unfortunately truth can never be hidden under the sun. Neither are we people you can easily kill (rooted and bathed in the word of the spirit). Until bravery stares this evil in the face and challenges it, we may be very far from a solution."
