Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, says he has launched the Iru Ekun Security Network to help reclaim forests in Kwara State from bandits and other criminal groups. Reports from both The Punch and Vanguard describe Igboho making the pledge publicly in Ilorin, where he links the initiative to stopping the use of Kwara’s forest areas for criminal activities. Both outlets also say Igboho frames the effort as complementary to government security operations, rather than replacing official agencies.
The Vanguard reports present the same core message in two separate articles, stating that the network’s stated aim is to “reclaim” or “flush out” bandits from the forests of Kwara. The Punch similarly reports that Igboho vows to clear bandits from the forests and to support broader security efforts.
Across the sources, the key common elements are Igboho’s launch of the Iru Ekun Security Network, his stated intention to target bandit presence in Kwara forests, and his position that the initiative will work alongside government security responses.
