The Shield of the East.

The Civilian Joint Task Force is a volunteer-led civilian security structure raised by communities themselves. What began as neighbours refusing to look away has grown into an organised force with ranks, sectors and a chain of command — still answerable, first and always, to the people it came from.

The Southeast Zonal Command coordinates that work across Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Abia and Imo: sharing intelligence, supporting patrols, resolving disputes early and standing between ordinary families and those who would harm them.

“Vigilance is not suspicion. It is the duty a community owes itself.”
