Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Adeyemo says he is awaiting federal approval to launch his proposed security outfit, Iru Ekun Security Network, aimed at flushing out criminal elements from forests across Nigeria’s South-West region.
In a statement issued on Monday in Ibadan, Igboho said all required documents and procedures for the registration and approval of the outfit had been completed and submitted to the Federal Government.
He said the group is prepared to work with security agencies including the Nigeria Police Force, Department of State Services, Nigerian Army and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps to combat terrorism, kidnapping and banditry, particularly in rural communities.
Igboho also pledged to comply with Executive Order 001 of 2026 recently signed by Seyi Makinde, which regulates the activities of private security groups and community-based vigilante organisations in Oyo State.
The activist commended President Bola Tinubu for what he described as efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture.
He added that peace and security remain critical to economic growth, especially in rural communities that play a major role in agricultural production and food security.
