Sunday Adeyemo, widely known as Sunday Igboho, has announced that the Iru Ekun Security Network has registered more than 80,000 volunteers across Nigeria’s South-West region.
The Yoruba Nation activist stated that the expansion of this community-based security force is contributing to a measurable decline in kidnapping incidents in the area.
The claim of reduced criminal activity comes as the network continues to scale its operations.
Igboho described the volunteer response as robust, suggesting that the sheer volume of participants is altering the security landscape in the region.
The network operates as a parallel security structure, aiming to fill gaps in state protection against banditry and abduction.
Security dynamics in the South-West have been a persistent concern for investors and businesses operating in Nigeria.
