The founder of Iru Ekun Security Network, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has directed members of the security outfit to kill armed bandits and kidnappers encountered during their operations in the Southwest.
Igboho gave the directive while addressing members of the
security network during its inauguration in Akure, Ondo State.
The Yoruba Nation activist said the directive applied to
suspected kidnappers irrespective of their ethnic background, warning that
Yoruba people found collaborating with criminal groups would also not be
spared.
“If you are in the bush or anywhere and you meet any bandit
with guns, kill him, and if you see any Yoruba person collaborating with these
bandits, the person too.
“If you see any Igbo person involved in kidnapping, kill him
too. If you meet any Hausa person with guns involved in kidnapping, kill him
because we can’t be wasting time,” he said.
Igboho, however, warned his operatives against attacking
innocent Hausa and Igbo residents, stressing that the security outfit’s
operations were targeted at suspected criminals and not any ethnic group.
He also urged members of the network to alert the police and
other security agencies when they discover the activities of suspected bandits
and kidnappers.
Igboho has recently intensified the activities of the Iru
Ekun Security Network across the Southwest as part of efforts to tackle
kidnapping, banditry and other criminal activities in the region.
He had earlier said the security outfit would continue its
operations against criminal elements, while calling for collaboration with the
police, Nigerian Army, Department of State Services, DSS, and other security
agencies.
In August, more than 15,000 volunteers reportedly joined the
Iru Ekun Security Network during the inauguration of its Ogun State chapter in
Abeokuta.
Igboho said the network was established to complement the
efforts of government security agencies in tackling kidnapping, banditry and
other crimes across the Southwest.
