Yoruba activist Sunday Igboho has unveiled a new security outfit aimed at tackling the rising wave of kidnappings and violent attacks plaguing rural communities across the South‑West.

A viral video circulating online shows one of the outfit’s strong members, sparking widespread reactions and discussions in comment sections. Igboho, who has long positioned himself as a defender of Yoruba interests, said the initiative was born out of frustration with the non‑stop insecurity that has left many communities vulnerable.

The new outfit is expected to focus on community protection, intelligence gathering, and rapid response against criminal elements. Supporters argue that grassroots security initiatives are necessary given the scale of rural attacks, while critics caution about the risks of parallel security structures operating outside formal state control.
