Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, on Monday, said he was still awaiting the Federal Government’s approval for the take-off of his security outfit, “Iru Ekun Security Network,” as part of the moves to dislodge criminal elements from South-West forests.
He also expressed his readiness to comply with the Executive Order recently issued by the Oyo State Government, signed by Governor Seyi Makinde, which regulates the activities of private security firms in the state.
Igboho, who made this known in a statement issued in Ibadan, the state capital, stressed that all necessary documents and procedural requirements needed for the approval of “Iru Ekun Security Network” had been submitted to the Federal Government.
The PUNCH reports that Makinde, on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, signed into law Executive Order 001 of 2026, regulating associations, Groups, and Organisations offering Security and Allied Services in the state.
Makinde said the move was necessary to ensure that all groups and associations involved in security-related activities, such as vigilante and other community-based security groups, operate within a clear legal and operational framework that supports peace, order and rule of law in the state.
