The Ogbomosoland Security Summit 2026 has called for a community-owned and intelligence-led security architecture for the region, stressing that the security of lives and property must remain the foundation of the development aspirations of Ogbomosoland.

The summit, which was held on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, at the Great Hall of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, also witnessed the official launching of the Ogbomoso Security Trust Fund as part of efforts to mobilise sustainable resources for security operations, logistics, equipment and intelligence gathering.

The summit, held under the auspices of the 25-Year Ogbomoso Development Vision of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye Orumogege III, Soun of Ogbomosoland, brought together traditional rulers, government representatives, security agencies, academics, community leaders, professionals, civil society organisations and other stakeholders.

A major highlight of the gathering was the attendance and active participation of more than 40 traditional rulers from across Ogbomosoland, which the summit described as a demonstration of royal unity and commitment to the security of the region.

Security must precede development

The summit, with the theme, “Community-Based Security Management in Ogbomosoland: Issues, Challenges and Prospects,” affirmed that no meaningful development can take place without adequate security.

It noted that the security of lives and property was essential to the growth of education, agriculture, commerce, transportation, investment and the general wellbeing of the people.

The summit quoted the Soun of Ogbomosoland as saying, “We must secure Ogbomosoland so that Ogbomosoland can rise.”

Participants therefore resolved that security management in Ogbomosoland must move beyond a system that relies solely on government and conventional security agencies to one in which communities and other stakeholders play active roles.

The summit identified participation, collaboration, decentralised problem-solving and mutual accountability as key principles for the new security framework.

Summit adopts lessons from Oriire abduction

The summit placed particular emphasis on the need for early detection and accurate reporting of security threats, drawing lessons from the recent abduction incident in Oriire local government area.

It stressed the importance of Human Intelligence (HUMINT), community vigilance and prompt sharing of credible information.

The also summit encouraged residents to report suspicious activities and security incidents not only to the Police and other conventional security agencies, but also through trusted channels such as traditional rulers, chiefs, religious leaders and local government officials.

It adopted the guiding principle that “We must not wait for another Oriire to happen.”

Participants also called for stronger mechanisms to protect the confidentiality and safety of people who provide security information, noting that citizens would be more willing to volunteer intelligence where they have confidence that their identities and safety would be protected.

40 traditional rulers urged to maintain unity

The summit commended the more than 40 traditional rulers who attended the gathering and urged them to maintain a united front in addressing security challenges across their respective domains.

It resolved that traditional rulers should strengthen cooperation and grassroots security consciousness while working together across traditional boundaries.

The summit also called for the establishment and strengthening of community security committees at zonal, local government, ward, community and village levels.

According to the communiqué issued at the end of the summit, signed by Dr. Femi Babajide, chairman (communiqué committee), and Rear Admiral Jacob Ajani (rtd.) (chairman, organising committee), the committees should include traditional rulers, community leaders, teachers, students, traders, youths, religious leaders and local security actors.

Such committees, it said, would promote early warning, information sharing, community ownership and effective liaison with formal security agencies.

Summit expresses concern over absence of LG chairmen

The summit also expressed concern over the absence of local government chairmen from the security gathering.

It described their absence as a “gross misnomer,” stressing that local government leadership should be at the forefront of grassroots security management.

The summit called for greater involvement of the local government authorities in security matters and urged them to strengthen their liaison with the state and federal governments.

It further noted that the provision of basic infrastructure, social amenities, economic opportunities and good governance at the grassroots would help build public confidence and promote citizen loyalty.

Ogbomoso’s strategic location requires wider cooperation

The gathering recognised the strategic position of Ogbomoso as a major gateway between northern and southwestern Nigeria.

It consequently called for stronger security cooperation between Ogbomosoland and neighbouring states and local government areas.

The meeting described this as a “strategic security handshake,” involving intelligence sharing, coordination and cooperation beyond the immediate borders of Ogbomosoland.

It also recommended the comprehensive mapping of communities, remote roads, border entry points, communication facilities, public lighting and other vulnerable locations to facilitate effective security planning and rapid emergency response.

Security Trust Fund launched

The conference likewise commended the launch of the Ogbomoso Security Trust Fund, describing it as an important vehicle for mobilising resources outside government funding to support security operations.

It called on Ogbomoso indigenes at home and in the diaspora, corporate organisations and well-wishers to contribute generously to the fund.

However, it stressed the need for strict transparency, accountability and measurable performance in the management of the fund, while recommending the constitution of a Board of Trustees and a management team to ensure responsible administration of the resources.

Education, youth development critical to security

The summit also identified education and youth development as important components of long-term security management.

It stressed that children and youths must have access to quality education, moral upbringing and skills development to reduce vulnerability to criminal recruitment and social unrest.

This is as the summit welcomed the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) Schools Initiative, with the Soun of Ogbomosoland as Grand Patron, aimed at promoting security awareness and responsible citizenship among students.

It called for the expansion of the initiative across schools in Ogbomosoland.

Yoruba translation of communiqué made mandatory

In a move aimed at ensuring grassroots participation, the gathering resolved that all presentations delivered by resource persons and the communiqué itself must be translated into Yoruba.

It said the measure would ensure that security guidelines and resolutions were understood by residents across Ogbomosoland and would encourage wider community ownership of the security agenda.

The summit also supported the responsible integration of legitimate local security arrangements and traditional community security practices, including vetted local vigilantes, into the wider security architecture, subject to statutory laws and respect for fundamental human rights.

Summit calls for action

In its call to action, the meeting urged stakeholders to move from reaction to prevention, isolation to collaboration and vulnerability to resilience.

It called for a coordinated, intelligence-led, community-owned and accountable security structure involving traditional institutions, government, security agencies, Local Governments, communities, educational institutions, businesses, religious organisations, youths and civil society.

This is as it reaffirmed that the security of Ogbomosoland is a collective responsibility and an indispensable requirement for the fulfilment of the region’s 25-Year Development Vision.

OGBOMOSOLAND SECURITY SUMMIT / LAUNCHING OF SECURITY TRUST FUND COMMUNIQUÉ

Issued at the end of the Ogbomosoland Security Summit, 2026

Theme: “COMMUNITY-BASED SECURITY MANAGEMENT IN OGBOMOSOLAND: ISSUES, CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS”

Venue: The Great Hall, LAUTECH, Ogbomoso, Oyo State |

Date: 30 September 2026

PREAMBLE

The Ogbomosoland Security Summit 2026, held under the auspices of the 25-Year Ogbomoso Development Vision of His Imperial Majesty Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye Orumogege III, Soun of Ogbomosoland, brought together traditional institutions, government representatives, security agencies, academics, community leaders, professionals, civil society actors, and other key stakeholders. Significantly, the Summit witnessed the distinguished attendance and active participation of over 40 traditional rulers from across Ogbomosoland, symbolizing a unified, royal commitment to safeguarding the realm.

The primary objectives of the Summit were to:

Deliberate on Security Challenges: Evaluate current and emerging security threats facing Ogbomosoland.
Build a Community-Owned Framework: Transition security management from a purely government-led model to a collaborative, community-owned architecture.
Establish Sustainable Funding: Launch the Ogbomosoland Security Trust Fund to mobilize resources for security operations, infrastructure, and intelligence.
Drive Prevention & Resilience: Shift the regional security posture from reactive measures to proactive prevention, inter-agency collaboration, and community resilience.
Support Long-Term Vision: Secure life and property as an indispensable prerequisite to achieving the 25-Year Ogbomoso Development Vision.

Following the keynote address, technical presentations, panel discussions, and extensive contributions from participants, the Summit observed and resolved as follows:

OBSERVATIONS AND RESOLUTIONS 1. SECURITY AS THE FOUNDATION OF DEVELOPMENT

The Summit affirmed that security of life and property is fundamental to the realization of Ogbomosoland’s development aspirations. As emphasized by His Imperial Majesty, the Soun of Ogbomosoland, “We must secure Ogbomosoland so that Ogbomosoland can rise.” Security must therefore be treated as an essential foundation for economic development, education, agriculture, commerce, mobility, and social wellbeing.

1 2. ROYAL LEADERSHIP, UNITY, AND COOPERATION AMONG TRADITIONAL RULERS

The Summit noted with deep appreciation the historic attendance and active presence of over 40 traditional rulers across Ogbomosoland. The Summit resolved that unity and close cooperation among traditional rulers are vital and indispensable to regional peace, security, and harmonious coexistence. Royal fathers must maintain a united front, foster synergy across traditional boundaries, and lead grassroots security consciousness within their respective domains.

COMMUNITY-BASED SECURITY AS A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY

The Summit recognized that security can no longer be regarded as the exclusive responsibility of government and conventional security agencies. It requires the active participation of communities and all relevant stakeholders, built around four core principles: participation, collaboration, decentralized problem-solving, and mutual accountability.

TIMELY, ACCURATE INTELLIGENCE AND MULTI-CHANNEL INCIDENT REPORTING

The Summit stressed the supreme importance of community intelligence, vigilance, accurate information management, and early detection of threats. Communities must be enlightened and empowered to identify unusual activities and report credible information promptly. The Summit emphasized that incident reporting must be timely and accurate, and explicitly clarified that reporting need not be restricted to the Police or conventional Security Agencies alone. Citizens are encouraged to also report security incidents to Local Government officials, traditional rulers and chiefs, and religious leaders, who serve as trusted and accessible channels. Effective utilization of Human Intelligence (HUMINT) is essential. Reflecting on lessons from the Oriire abduction incident, the Summit adopted the firm guiding principle: “We must not wait for another Oriire to happen.”

ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMUNITY SECURITY COMMITTEES AT ALL LEVELS The Summit mandated the establishment and strengthening of Security Committees at all levels— including zonal, Local Government, ward, community, and village levels. These committees must comprise traditional rulers, community leaders, teachers, students, traders, youth representatives, religious leaders, and local security actors. Such multi-tiered structures will facilitate grassroots ownership, structured information sharing, early warning, and effective liaison with formal security apparatuses.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY, STATE LIAISON, AND CITIZEN LOYALTY

The Summit underscored the pivotal role of Local Government Areas (LGAs) in grassroots security governance. The Summit observed with concern that the absence of Local Government Chairmen at this critical security gathering was a gross misnomer, as local government leadership ought to be at the forefront of community safety. Furthermore, the Summit emphasized the necessity of proactive liaison with higher levels of government (State and Federal) to ensure that adequate governance, infrastructure, basic social amenities, and economic opportunities are consistently provided to the people. Providing good governance at the grassroots is essential to foster civic trust, build public confidence, and promote unalloyed citizen loyalty.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE AND COMMUNITY SECURITY PRACTICES

The Summit encouraged the responsible integration of local knowledge, traditional community security practices, and legitimate community-based security arrangements (including local vigilantes) into the wider security architecture, while ensuring strict compliance with statutory law and respect for fundamental human rights.

OGBOMOSO AS A STRATEGIC SECURITY CORRIDOR

The Summit recognized the strategic position of Ogbomoso as a critical gateway connecting northern and southwestern Nigeria, giving its security wider regional and national implications. Consequently, effective security management in Ogbomosoland requires sustained attention and collaboration beyond immediate borders, necessitating a proactive “strategic security handshake” with neighboring states and adjoining local jurisdictions.

MAPPING AND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SECURITY ARCHITECTURE

The Summit recommended the systematic mapping of communities, remote roads, border entry points, communication facilities, public lighting, and vulnerable locations to support precise risk assessment, rapid emergency response, and modern security planning.

STRENGTHENING TRUST AND CONFIDENTIAL COLLABORATION

The Summit called for deliberate efforts to build mutual trust between citizens and formal security agencies. The operational principle of “See something, say something” must be anchored on robust mechanisms that protect the confidentiality and safety of informants. Traditional rulers, local chiefs, religious leaders, and LG authorities must be fully leveraged as trusted conduits for receiving and escalating security intelligence.

SUPPORT FOR THE OGBOMOSO SECURITY TRUST FUND

The Summit commended the official launching of the Ogbomoso Security Trust Fund as a vital vehicle for mobilizing non-governmental resources for operational support, logistics, equipment, and intelligence infrastructure. The Summit commended the commitment to total transparency, accountability, and measurable impact, urging all Ogbomoso indigenes (at home and in the diaspora), corporate organizations, and well-wishers to contribute generously.

EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN/YOUTHS AND SCHOOL SECURITY INITIATIVES

The Summit emphasized that quality education, moral upbringing, and skill development for children and youths are basic prerequisites for long-term peace and crime prevention. Ensuring that children and youths remain in school and gainfully engaged is vital to preventing restiveness and recruitment into criminality. Alongside general youth education, the Summit welcomed the launch of the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) Schools Initiative—with His Imperial Majesty the Soun of Ogbomosoland invested as Grand Patron—to build security awareness and responsible citizenship among students.

MANDATORY TRANSLATION OF SUMMIT PROCEEDINGS AND COMMUNIQUÉ INTO YORUBA To ensure maximum reach, grassroots inclusion, and deep community ownership, the Summit resolved that the translation of all presentations delivered by resource persons, as well as this Communiqué, into the Yoruba language is mandatory. This will guarantee that security guidelines and resolutions are fully understood and implemented by all residents across Ogbomosoland.

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS

Establish Community Security Committees at All Levels: Set up and operationalize multi-tiered Security Committees across all zonal, Local Government, ward, community, and village levels with broad stakeholder representation.
Institutionalize Timely, Accurate & Multi-Channel Incident Reporting: Enforce timely and accurate reporting of security threats, affirming that citizens can report not only to police/security agencies, but also to LG officials, traditional rulers and chiefs, and religious leaders.
Strengthen Unity and Synergy Among Traditional Rulers: Foster continuous unity, dialogue, and joint security monitoring among the 40+ traditional rulers to secure all domains collaboratively.
Ensure Local Government Accountability & Governance Liaison: Address the absence of LG leadership as a misnomer by mandating active LGA participation in security, while actively liaising with State and Federal Governments to deliver public services that promote citizen loyalty.
Prioritize Education & Security Awareness for Children and Youth: Ensure comprehensive access to education and moral development for children and youths to prevent crime, alongside expanding the PCRC Schools Initiative across all educational institutions.
Mandate Yoruba Translation of Summit Outcomes: Execute the mandatory translation of all resource person presentations and this Communiqué into the Yoruba language for widespread community adoption.
Establish a “Strategic Security Handshake”: Initiate formal security coordination and intelligence sharing with neighboring states and jurisdictions due to Ogbomoso’s gateway status.
Execute Comprehensive Security Mapping: Conduct systematic mapping of critical infrastructure, border points, transit corridors, lighting, and vulnerable locations to optimize emergency response.
Integrate Legitimate Indigenous Security Arrangements: Responsibly incorporate vetted traditional security practices and local vigilantes into the formal security framework in compliance with statutory laws.
Mobilise and responsibly manage the Security Trust Fund: Call on indigenes worldwide and corporate persons to donate to the Ogbomoso Security Trust Fund, governed by strict, transparent and performance metrics to include the constitution of a Board of Trustees and a management team.

CALL TO ACTION

The Summit calls on all stakeholders in Ogbomosoland to move from reaction to prevention, from isolation to collaboration, and from vulnerability to resilience. Summit further calls for the development of a coordinated, intelligence-led, community-owned, and accountable security architecture that brings together traditional institutions, government, security agencies, local authorities, communities, educational institutions, businesses, religious organizations, youth, and civil society. The Summit concludes that the security of Ogbomosoland is a collective responsibility and an absolute prerequisite for the fulfillment of its 25-Year Development Vision. Accordingly, all stakeholders are urged to translate the outcomes of this Summit into concrete, measurable, and sustainable actions, reaffirming that: “We must secure Ogbomosoland so that Ogbomosoland can rise.”
