Sunday Igboho Offers To Secure Oyo Public Schools

Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has written to Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, expressing readiness to provide security for public schools across the state.

Naija News reports that the proposal came amid growing security concerns in Oyo State and 24 days after the abduction of teachers and pupils in Oriire Local Government Area.

Igboho, founder of Iru Ekun Private Security Limited, submitted the letter to the Oyo State Commissioner for Education, with a copy sent to the governor.

The correspondence, dated June 9, 2026, requested detailed data on the number and locations of public schools in the state.

The group said the information would help it plan security coverage for educational institutions across Oyo State.

According to the letter, the Iru Ekun Security Network said it was ready to collaborate with the state government to protect pupils, teachers and school facilities from criminal attacks.

The group proposed that at least two trained operatives be stationed at each public school.

It said the operatives would guard school premises, monitor access points, liaise with principals and community vigilantes, and prevent unlawful intrusion.

The letter also advised the government to improve physical security infrastructure around schools, including perimeter fencing, to make monitoring and protection easier.

While commending ongoing rescue efforts by the state government and security agencies, the organisation said preventive action must be prioritised to stop repeated attacks on schools.

It warned that delays in implementing security measures could expose pupils and teachers to avoidable risks.

The group urged the government to act quickly to create what it described as a “protective shield” around schools across the state.

The organisation also expressed readiness to work with the State Universal Basic Education Board, the Teaching Service Commission, school management boards and community stakeholders.

It said such collaboration would help develop a comprehensive school security framework for public schools in Oyo State.
