As the Southwest's Amotekun Security Force (a complimentary security outfit for the region) gathers steam, the the youth wing of the Socio Political group embodying all IBO states, Ohaneze, has proposed the creation of their regional and complimentary security outfit codenamed "Ogbunigwe".
Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the president of Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Council, described it as a welcomed development and said it is time to create a similar one in the southeast. He also advocated the creation of a ministry of homeland security across southeast Nigeria to coordinate this new regional security outfit.
He disclosed that, the outfit would be unarmed but would be well equipped to carry out intelligence functions as they partner with the regular security forces in the country.
He also went further to say that, Ogbunigwe would comprise of hunters, certain youth association members, Enugu Forest Guards, Ebonyi Neighborhood Watch and Vigilante team members.
Lack of a uniformed security architecture in the region has been the reason for the infiltration of Herdsmen into the region who have had a free time committing heinous crimes against the Ibos, he said
He urged that, IBOs all over the world should support this new drive so that the outfit can contribute immensely to information gathering so as to prevent crimes from happening before hand as well as stopping perpetrators dead in their tracks.
