A resident of Husra village in Michika Local Government Area, Musa Uba said : “They conducted preaching sessions to attract converts to their sect but people only listened out of fear.

regularly.
A politician in the area named Maina Ularamu said: “the information I have is that they selected some women and locked them in the local government Secretariat”.
