The recent activities of armed robbers, petty thieves, and the infamous “One Million Boys” are almost throwing places like Lagos, and Ogun into a state of anarchy and lawlessness.
Residents of affected areas in these states have organized themselves into Vigilante groups to wade off any incoming attacks.
Each sub-group of the “Abagbons” has their local regiment with a captain that oversees every street/district in Eko. In certain situations where they will need to fight with the use of both Military, and Spiritual force, they handle the military and combat aspects, while another class of the traditional arm of the government, the “Ogalades” governed by their head “The Obanikoro” -A Third Class chief, the Spiritual Priest, and Physician of the Oba.
Another important and powerful traditional institution that has always played of enforcing law and order in the land; both Physical and Spiritual is the Ogboni Society. The Ogboni was once described as a civic and law enforcing body that checkmate the Oba and ensure discipline and peace in the land. They step in when there are chaos and anarchy in the land.
All through Yorùbá land, different age groups, either religious, traditional, or civil have stepped up in protecting the land during the period of unrest. Either through physical means or supernatural means. Lands and borders have always been protected.
