Esan Mega Forum flags off Community Policing Scheme, Present #50,000 to Association of Hunters.

Following the rising wave of herdsmen attacks and rising insecurity in Edo Central, Esan apex  socio-cultural  organization,  "Esan Mega Forum"  has formally launched the much talked about Esan Community Policing Scheme with the presentation of the sum of Fifty Thousand Naira (#50,000) to Esan West Hunters Association Ekpoma over the weekend.

While making the presentation of the cash grant to the hunters, the head of Esan Mega Forum`s delegation, Mr. Kingsley Ohens enjoined the association to make judicious use of the money while promising that  EMF would continue to support them from time to time.

Reacting to the good gesture of EMF,  the chairman of the association, Mr. Samuel Okosun Odumbele thanked Esan Mega Forum for the noble and laudable gesture while appealing for more supports to enable them acquire operational vehicle, reflective jackets, safety boots, application for registration and fortification of members with traditional bath.

While responding to his requests, Mr. Ohens promised that the forum would give the association an operational vehicle in the next meeting even as he vowed that EMF would strive to meet all their demands and extend same empowerment packages to all the vigilante groups and hunters` associations across the 35 kingdoms in Oto-Esan.

From the good gesture of EMF, it is important to point positive fingers to those behind such positive initiatives on behalf of EMF to honor their pledges and vows to these hunters associations. On the list are Comrade Kingsley Ohens who doubles as leader EMF and charismatic president of Esan Youths Movement, he is everywhere ranging from television houses to community meetings, seminars, royal palaces, etc, agitating for the good of Esan people and the development of esan land. He is popular  with the mindset that "ESAN DI FURE".  Also to be mentioned is Mr. Innocent Omonzokpia, who is in charge of operations, administration and publicity, a good coordinator and a good vocalist. Another young man to be mentioned is Comrade Ehim Barak, the protocol officer in charge of strategies, mobilizations and finance. He is the quiet type but remains as the brain box of EMF. There are so many others whose services and roles cannot be overlooked but would be published in subsequent publications. Kudos to you all.

 The Chairman of the association and others members enumerated the following as their immediate challenges;

*operational vehicle
*welfare
* Registration
* encouragement
* reflective jacket, safety boots
* traditional defence /bath.
