Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has said he is awaiting the Federal Government’s approval to begin operations aimed at tackling terrorists and other criminal elements across the South-West region.
Igboho stated that his security outfit, Iru Ekun Security Network, is prepared to commence operations as part of efforts to flush out kidnappers, bandits, and other criminal groups operating within forests in the region.
He also expressed readiness to comply with the Executive Order recently introduced by the Oyo State Government, which regulates the activities of private security organisations in the state.
In a statement issued on Monday, the activist explained that all required documents and necessary procedures for the approval of the security outfit had already been submitted to the Federal Government.
He further commended President Bola Tinubu for what he described as efforts toward strengthening Nigeria’s security system, particularly within the South-West region.
“We have submitted all the required documents for our registered security firm, Iru Ekun Security Network, and are only waiting for the Federal Government approval which will be granted soon,” he said.
Igboho added that the outfit is ready to collaborate with conventional security agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force, Department of State Services (DSS), Nigerian Army, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
“We are absolutely ready to collaborate with the police, DSS, Nigeria Army, NSCDC, and other relevant stakeholders in the security sector to flush out terrorists, kidnappers, bandits, and other hoodlums who are threatening the peace and safety of our people, especially in rural communities,” he stated.
He emphasised that improved security remains essential for social and economic development, particularly in rural communities where agriculture and livelihoods depend heavily on peace and stability.
