Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Igboho, has inaugurated the Ogun State chapter of the Iru Ekun Security Network. He recently launched the community-based security initiative aimed at supporting efforts to tackle insecurity across the South-West.
Addressing participants at the inauguration, Igboho outlined plans for the organisation’s training, deployment and relationship with government authorities, warning members against indiscipline and misconduct.
He concluded by urging volunteers to conduct themselves responsibly and avoid abusing the authority that comes with their identification and training.
His words, “You must have discipline. Do not engage in reckless behaviour or ruin things just because they have trained you and you have ID card.
Federal Government will decide who will come and train us. The Governor’s Office will tell us where they will place us.
As they wrap up that training, every person will be issued an ID card at the local government level.
The governor has also given us assurance. They have given us support here, and they will decide what monthly allowance to provide to us, to support us, because we have wives, and we have children.
This organisation we established, if we execute it properly, just like Civil Defence. They started at the market. We used to call them ‘Little Defence,’ but they did good work with what they were doing. The Federal Government have now fully established it across Nigeria.”
