Immigration Alerts Nigerians Against New Sect Linked To Human Trafficking
The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has sounded a warning alarm to Nigerians on a mysterious new sect, ACHAD Life Mission International, that is allegedly luring victims into human trafficking and child separation.
According to an internal memo, the sect’s headquarters is nestled in Kaduna State, while its leader, simply identified as Yokana, lives in Jos, Plateau State.
Immigration authorities are urging Nigerians to exercise extreme caution, as the sect’s recruiters are reportedly targeting vulnerable individuals both within and outside the country.
The memo issued by AA. Aridegbe, principal staff officer to the comptroller general of NIS, alerted all state commands, directorates, zones and training institutions about the activities of the new sect.
“I am directed to inform that the intelligence gathered by the Service reveals the emergence of a new Sect called ACHAD life Mission International,” the circular reads.
