More trouble looms for security agencies as a new religious sect, Achard Life Mission International, suspected to be involved in human trafficking, has emerged in the North.
The sect, which neither believes in Islam nor Christianity, but preaches the restoration of African traditions and supports humanity, is giving the security agencies sleepless nights.
Daily Sun gathered that there is palpable fear in Kaduna and surrounding states and residents are apprehensive over the group as there is no clear understanding of the mission of the sect.
Residents have been apprehensive and have raised the alarm over the sect. They have subsequently reported to security agencies.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has placed men and officers of the service on red alert to curb the activities of the international sect, Achard.
A memo by the principal staff officer to the Controller General of NIS, CIS A.A. Aridegbe, for the CG, stated, “I am directed to inform you that the intelligence gathered by the service reveals the emergency of a new sect, called Achard Life Mission International.
“The intelligence reports that the sect has its headquarters in Kaduna, while its leader, Mr Yokana, lives in Jos, Plateau State.
“It further notes that the sect neither believes in Islam nor Christianity, but preaches the restoration of the African tradition and supports humanity.
“The intelligence further reveals that the sect has been canvassing for members both within and outside Nigeria and it is possibly involved in human trafficking and child separation.
“In the light of the above, you are expected to stay vigilant and report immediately any sign of the sect and where possible arrest and revert accordingly. This is for your information and strict compliance”.
