Sunday Igboho Launches ‘Iru Ekun Security Network’ to Boost South-West Security

Yoruba activist Sunday Igboho has reportedly launched a new security initiative known as Iru Ekun Security Network, also referred to as Ija Ekun (Tiger Base).

According to the announcement, the initiative is expected to recruit over 50,000 personnel aimed at strengthening security and protecting communities across the South-West region against insecurity and insurgent threats.

The group is described as a community-based security structure, which organizers say will operate subject to Federal Government approval and within relevant legal frameworks.

The development has generated widespread reactions across social and political circles, with debates around its legality, structure, and implications for regional security coordination.

Authorities are yet to issue an official response regarding the announcement.
