The prayer group which came to be known as Yusrullahi Society of Nigeria grew under direction of Murtada Akangbe. The growth of the group led to the establishment of sister branches in other Yoruba cities including Lagos. In 1995, the Lagos branch formed an independent group whose members became the core leadership of Nasrul-lahi-li Fathi Society of Nigeria or NASFAT.
