Another resident of Husra village in Michika Local Government Area of the state, said able-bodied young men had been conscripted into the sect.
“They conducted preaching sessions to attract converts to their sect, but people only listened out of fear. The next day, they asked if anybody wanted to join them but there was no response, so they selected healthy young men and ordered them to follow them,” he said.
