The Isese Welfare Association, on Friday, called on the South-West Governors and all relevant security authorities to formally integrate traditional indigenous security protections and intelligence systems as prescribed in Ifa and upheld by legitimate traditional practitioners to nip in the bud insecurity across the region.

IWA, in a statement released by its National Coordinator, Aderemi Ifaolepin Aderemi (Olúwo Ifáòleèpin), in Ibadan, condemned the recent wave of kidnappings, school abductions, and killings across the Yorubaland.

It described the recent killings and abduction of school children in Oriire Local Government Area of the state as heinous acts, assault on the people of Yorubaland, the children, the culture, and the sanctity of life that their ancestors held sacred.

The PUNCH reports that scores of teachers and students were abducted during coordinated attacks on Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yawota, Community Grammar School and L.A. Primary School, Esiele, in Oriire Local Government Area of the state, last Friday around 9:30 a.m.
