50 members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN have been reported dead during the clash with the security operatives on Monday along the Nyanya-Keffi expressway.
Speaking with Channels TV, a member of the sect group, Mohammed Gamara, disclosed that about 200 members were injured during the attack.
