In a statement issued by the Head Secretary of the Head, Fred Diaha, the Governor revealed that the initiative would be encouraged by the Office of the Principal Security Officer (PSO) to the Governor, working in close coordination with the Chief Security Officer (CSO) at the Government Building.

Re -emphasizing the strong attitude of his government about insecurity, Okpebholo stated: “We will not allow crimes to dictate the future of our country. Edo state must be safe again for our children, for investors, and for those in the diaspora who want to go home and contribute.”

The Governor of Okpebholo has also directed PSO and CSO to ensure full launch and operation enforcement, with a clear emphasis on accountability, professionalism, and community collaboration.

According to reports, a special squad will consist of strictly examined individuals, including reformed worship, local hunters, and members of the community’s own vigilant group. These personnel will be deployed as a tactical team in each regional government region, giving a fast and locally informed response to the threats that arise.

This step indicates the intention of the Okpebholo government to take action that determines and is rooted in the community to insecurity in the state of Edo.
