The memo reads: “I am directed to inform you that the intelligence gathered by the Service reveals the emergence of a new Sect called ACHAD Life Mission International.
“The intelligence reports that the sect has its Headquarters in Kaduna, while its leader, one 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 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.
