I want to put it on record that I do not support this Iru Ekun in Ogun State.
I have always been against the empowerment of militia groups such as this one without a binding legal framework which constitutes their SOP. It may appear like a solution to the problem of terrorists and killer herdsmen in the early days, but as it is with every human social group, there’ll be a deviation in core ideology at some point, and there will be breakaway factions. More often than not, the breakaway factions will become radical, devastating, and more ruthless.
As you can hear in this video, there is no rule book, no rigorous selection process with serious background checks. No constituted authority they answer to, no legislative oversight to keep them in check. The system of hierarchy is not decentralized; one person is the leader across several states.
Keg of gunpowder.
To the supporters, calm down! No need to devour me for this opinion. I am just one man with a tiny voice, so my voice/tweet will not matter on this topic.
