The Founder of Evangelical Biblical Outreach Ministries International (EBOMI), Prophet Isa El-Buba, has intensified efforts to combat insecurity in Plateau State with the inauguration of more than 20 security outposts and the rollout of a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance network across Jos North Local Government Area.
The security initiative, unveiled on Thursday, July 30, 2026, also saw the deployment of 10 branded security motorcycles to boost the mobility and rapid response capacity of members of the Peace Ambassadors Joint Task Force, a volunteer security outfit established to complement the operations of conventional security agencies.
Prophet El-Buba, accompanied by security officials and other dignitaries, commissioned security outposts at Bauchi Junction, Gondola, TT&T Junction, and other strategic locations across Jos North, describing the project as a major step towards strengthening community policing and safeguarding lives and property.
According to the cleric, the newly commissioned facilities will serve as operational bases for volunteers carrying out surveillance and routine security patrols across vulnerable communities.
“As I commission these security posts today, I am pleased to announce that we have built over 20 security posts across Jos North and other locations where these men and women will operate from to secure our streets and neighbourhoods,” El-Buba said.
The event also featured the passing-out parade of members of the Peace Ambassadors Joint Task Force, who were immediately deployed to various duty posts across the local government area.
Addressing the volunteers, El-Buba urged them to uphold discipline, professionalism and integrity, warning that anyone who compromised the objectives of the initiative would face severe consequences.
“Anyone who is part of this volunteer network and compromises the standards we have set will be dealt with accordingly. Such a person will become the first example because we cannot afford to endanger the lives of these great volunteers,” he warned.
The cleric maintained that Nigeria’s worsening security challenges require collective action, insisting that the police and military cannot shoulder the responsibility alone.
“The police alone cannot get this job done. The military and our armed forces, who are paying the supreme price, cannot do it alone either. Every one of you who has volunteered your time, energy and everything about yourselves to secure our communities deserves our deepest appreciation,” he stated.
El-Buba also challenged wealthy Nigerians, corporate organisations and other public-spirited citizens to support security agencies with logistics and other resources needed to improve their effectiveness.
“Today, I challenge every Nigerian whom God has blessed with resources to contribute to the Nigeria Police Force and to the security of our nation. What I have done is to provide a little support so that people from different formations can come together as one united force,” he added.
Expressing confidence in the future of Plateau State, the preacher said lasting peace was achievable if residents embraced community policing and actively partnered with law enforcement agencies to secure their neighbourhoods.
Speaking on behalf of the Plateau State Commissioner of Police, the Divisional Police Officer of Nasarawa Gwom Division, Malam Saidu Ventim, described the initiative as timely and strategic, noting that the combination of security outposts and CCTV surveillance would significantly enhance intelligence gathering and crime prevention.
He said the project would strengthen early warning systems and deepen collaboration between the Peace Ambassadors Joint Task Force and the Nigeria Police Force in tackling criminal activities across the state.
Ventim also commended Prophet El-Buba for committing personal resources to initiatives aimed at improving public safety and assured residents of the police’s continued partnership with the volunteer security outfit.
Also speaking, a community leader at Bauchi Road Junction, Yahaya Mohammed Garba, described the project as a timely intervention capable of reducing petty theft, street crimes and other security threats affecting residents.
Garba urged other philanthropists and corporate organisations to emulate El-Buba by investing in community-based security initiatives that promote peace and public safety.
The cleric further disclosed that the programme would soon be expanded beyond Jos North, revealing plans to establish similar volunteer security structures in other insecurity-prone local government areas of Plateau State and parts of Southern Kaduna.
According to him, the expansion is aimed at complementing the efforts of security agencies, strengthening community policing and restoring lasting peace in communities affected by persistent insecurity.
