Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, has issued an alert on the emergence of a new sect known as “Achad Life Mission International”.
A circular signed by Principal Staff Officer to Comptroller-General of Immigration, CIS A. A. Aridegbe, indicated that the newly uncovered sect “neither believes in Islam nor Christianity, but preaches the restoration of the African tradition and support to humanity”.
The circular with reference number NIS/HQ/CGI/943/T/34, sighted by AljazirahNigeria highlighted that “The intelligence further reveals that the Sect has been canvassing for members both within and outside Nigeria, and is possibly involved in human trafficking and child separation”.
NIS then requested its personnel nationwide to “stay vigilant, and report immediately any sign of the Sect, and where possible arrest and revert accordingly”.
The sect’s leader, according to NIS, is simply identified as Mr. Yokana, based in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
Meanwhile, this latest security threat came amid heightened nationwide responses by security agencies to tackle terrorists groups including the Boko Haram, Lakurawa and bandits operating mostly in the North-west of Nigeria.
AljazirahNigeria reports that Defence Headquarters recently reiterated its vowed to combat terrorists and their collaborators in the country.
DHQ Spokesman, Major General Edward Buba, attributed the resurgence of attacks in Borno State to the influx of foreign agents who are reinforcing the terrorists terrorising the North East.
You would recall that recently the Lakurawas were reported to have began lately but was debunked by the affected communities in Sokoto that the group have recorded about 6 years operating in that part of the country.
AljazirahNigeria correspondent interacted with spoke social commentators who all pleaded anonymous as the matter is a security issue and the citizens should be in the same page with the security agencies to unravel their hiding places and flush them out.
