Yoruba leaders under the aegis of the Council of Yoruba Elders (CYE) have launched a fundraising campaign aimed at supporting security efforts to tackle banditry, kidnapping and terrorism in 10 states across the country.

The initiative was designed to provide resources, including security equipment and operational tools, to strengthen efforts against criminal activities threatening communities in Yoruba-speaking areas.

The Secretary-General of the council, Dr. Victor Taiwo, made the disclosure while addressing journalists in Ibadan, where he appealed to wealthy Yoruba individuals and other well-meaning Nigerians to support the campaign.
