Sunday Igboho, a Yoruba nation activist and founder of the Iru Ekun Security Network, says the network’s volunteer force has grown to more than 80,000 members across Nigeria’s South-West. In the reports, Igboho (Chief Sunday Adeyemo) presents the figure as evidence of widespread community participation in efforts aimed at tackling crimes such as kidnapping and terrorism. The articles attribute the update to Igboho’s public statement about registration and volunteer numbers, describing the expansion as part of a community-based security approach. One outlet also links the reported volunteer growth to improvements in the security environment, including reduced kidnapping, while both sources emphasize the scale of registration and continued support for the network in the region. The reports do not provide independent verification of the membership figures, nor do they include detailed breakdowns by local government area. Overall, the coverage focuses on Igboho’s announcement that the Iru Ekun Security Network has surpassed 80,000 registered volunteers and on what he says this reflects about local involvement in security efforts.
