In a bid to enhance security in the South-West region, traditional rulers from across the area are scheduled to convene a high-level meeting with Yoruba activist and founder of the Iru Ekun Security Network, Sunday Igboho. The significant gathering, set to take place in Ijero Ekiti, Ekiti State on Friday, will be chaired by Oba Joseph Adebayo Adewole, the Owa Ajero of Ijero Ekiti, and presided over by Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Co-Chairman of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria (NCTRN) and the Permanent Chairman of the Southern Nigerian Traditional Rulers Council (SNTRC).
A press release from the Igboho Media Office highlighted that the primary objective of the meeting would be to discuss and implement robust security measures tailored for the South-West region, focusing on sustaining peace and communal stability, particularly in rural communities. Traditional rulers, being close to the grassroots, are expected to play a pivotal role in preventing crises and managing disputes between Yoruba ethnic nationalities and other tribes in the region.
The meeting will also explore the potential for stronger collaboration between traditional institutions, local security initiatives, and formal security agencies, including the Nigerian Army, Department of State Services (DSS), and Nigeria Police, which have demonstrated significant support for the Iru Ekun Security Network.
