In the early 2010s, police officers, from time to time, would raid the Musa Mosque (or Masjid Musa) following intelligence reports that it was a hotbed of radicalisation. Inside the building were children and young adults, including the late controversial preacher Aboud Rogo, who was known for his involvement in radicalisation before he was killed on 27 August 2012.

All the adults were hauled into waiting police vehicles and charged, while the minors were let go.
