 African Union calls for 'urgent de-escalation' after US, Israel launch attack on Iran The African Union urged cooler heads to prevail on Saturday after the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran, warning that conflict could risk harming people on the continent. The pan-African body's head, Mahamoud Ali Youssouf called "for restraint, urgent de-escalation and sustained dialogue". "Further escalation risks worsening global instability, with serious implications for energy markets, food security, and economic resilience -- particularly in Africa, where conflict and economic pressures remain acute." The strikes come amid escalating tensions over Iran’s nuclear programme amid talks with the United States. Witnesses reported a powerful explosion in Iran’s capital, Tehran, with thick smoke rising, while the Iranian government has yet to comment, Reuters news agency reports.

 U.S MISSIONARY, ALEX BARBIR ACCUSES BENUE GOVT OF BLOCKING ₦60M YELEWATA MARKET REBUILD, PEGGING PROJECT AT ₦300M


7th February, 2026 


An American missionary and humanitarian worker, Mr. Alex Barbir, has accused the Benue State Government of frustrating his organisation’s ₦60 million proposal to rebuild the Yelewata market, only to later inflate the cost of the same project to ₦300 million.


Barbir, founder of the Building Zion initiative, made the allegation in a video circulating widely on social media, where he claimed that his team submitted a comprehensive and cost-effective plan to reconstruct the market, which was reportedly destroyed during communal clashes in Guma Local Government Area.


According to him, the proposal was aimed at delivering durable and functional market structures using quality materials at a significantly reduced cost. However, he alleged that the state government blocked the offer, before subsequently presenting a ₦300 million estimate for the identical reconstruction work.


The missionary further stated that Building Zion had already demonstrated its capacity in the community. He recalled that on January 31, the organisation handed over 35 newly constructed houses to victims of a massacre in Yelewata, providing shelter for displaced families at no financial cost to the state.


Barbir argued that the wide gap between the two cost estimates raises serious questions about transparency, efficiency and accountability in the execution of public projects, particularly in communities affected by violence and displacement.


His claims have since sparked reactions on social media, with residents and civil society voices calling for an independent review of the Yelewata market reconstruction process to ensure value for money and public interest. Others have urged the Benue State Government to respond promptly and clarify its position on the project.


Benue Info-pedia reports that, as of the time of this report, the Benue State Government has not issued an official response to the allegations.
