A new religious sect known as Hakika has emerged in Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, according to a report by Daily Post.
Nigerians have been warned to stay clear of the group with its members claiming to be Islamist saints and is currently occupying a large expanse of the forest in the area.

Speaking also, the Secretary General of the state Jaāmartu Nasil Islam, Ahmed Ali, said the doctrines of the group were not Islamic.
āThey have the kind of religious belief which I think is not Islam; they donāt believe in Quran, they donāt believe in any of the doctrines that Allah talked about in the Quran,ā Ali said.
On his part, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Security Matters, Brigadier General Muhammad Adika(retd), said: āIt is believed that some of them are those running away from Zamfara State as a result of the pressure and have concentrated themselves in an expanse of land which is highly forested.ā
