ESN was launched on 12 December 2020  by IPOB Leader Ohamadike Biafra Prophet (Maazi Nnamdi kanu) as a response to rising Fulani-Terrorists attacks & Insecurity across rural areas of the South-East.

 Its foundation was built on the need to protect farmers, secure forest routes, and support communities facing threats from violent criminal elements.
