The Abomusu farm proved quite viable, and poultry farming was introduced. In 1986, Elders Russell M. Nelson and Russell C. Taylor visited the Abomusu farm and saw the mature corn crop at its best. It was during this time that the persecution of the Church was at its peak in Abomusu. A chapel was being built in Abomosu, as was a gari production shed. Many people were suspicious of the building and the works going on in Abomosu. The building did not seem like a church building to them, and they were not pleased that the "CIA" had built a home there. It seemed that every Sunday many white people (Americans) came and left again. Regional government officials came to investigate the charges and were so impressed with the farm that they commended the Mormons and expressed wishes that they had been involved in the good project. The CIA charges were found to be obviously false, even though the persecution raged on.
