Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has disclosed that the number of volunteers registered under the Iru Ekun Security Network has exceeded 80,000 across the South-West, describing the milestone as a clear demonstration of the region’s commitment to tackling insecurity.
Igboho, the founder of the security outfit, said the overwhelming response reflects the patriotism, confidence and determination of Yoruba people to support community-based efforts aimed at combating kidnapping, terrorism and other violent crimes.
In a statement issued by his media office on Monday, Igboho stated that since the launch of the Iru Ekun Security Network, communities across the South-West that were previously plagued by criminal activities have witnessed a significant decline in kidnapping incidents.
He stressed that comprehensive background checks are being carried out on all prospective members to prevent individuals with questionable character or criminal records from infiltrating the organisation.
