Igboho, who dismissed rumours that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq was opposed to his coming to the state, said the outfit was established to complement the efforts of the government and conventional security agencies in tackling kidnapping, banditry and other violent crimes across affected communities.

Dismissing rumours that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq had opposed his visit to the state, he said he was convinced that the governor shared the concerns of residents over the worsening security situation.
