The Nigeria Immigration Service has alerted its officers to a newly established sect, ACHAD Life Mission International, reportedly linked to human trafficking and child separation.
NIS made this known in a circular dated January 15, 2025, signed by the Principal Staff Officer to the Comptroller General, CIS A.A. Aridegbe.
It was titled “emergence of a new sect known as ACHAD Life Mission International.”
The circular made the round on Friday and was distributed to all commands, directorates, zones and training institutions.
According to NIS, there is credible intelligence that ACHAD members are linked to human trafficking and child separation activities.
The circular read, “The sect’s headquarters is in Kaduna, and its operations are spearheaded by an individual identified as Yokana, who is based in Jos.
“It further notes that the sect neither believes in Islam nor Christianity but preaches the restoration of the African tradition and support to humanity.
“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.”
