L-R: Chairman, South West Governor's Forum, Gov. Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, his counterparts from Osun, Ogun, Lagos, Ekiti and Oyo States, Mr Gboyega Isiaka; Prince Dapo Abiodun; Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Dr Kayode Fayemi and Gov. Seyi Makinde, during the South West stakeholders' security summit in Ibadan recently.
The Special Adviser on Security to the Ekiti State Governor, Brig Gen Ebenezer Ogundana, who confirmed the security outfit would be launched soon, said they were making their final arrangements for the launching. The retired military officer added, “Three weeks ago the governors’ security advisers met in Ibadan to study the proposal and how it could take-off. The governors also got approval from the Office of the National Security Adviser to set up that outfit.
Ogundana said the region had discovered that a spate of attacks, kidnappings and ritual killings in the zone was affecting its development, hence the governors decided to take action.
