Disturbed by the recent incessant attacks on their community by bandits, the people of Isanlu-Isin in Isin local government area of Kwara State, have introduced a special identity card that will give any visitor access to their land.
The secretary of Isanlu-Isin Development Association, Mr Jacob Ayanda, in a statement on Monday, said the measure was part of proactive measures to prevent incessant kidnapping in the community.
“To prevent re-occurrence of the security breaches that occurred recently by which four citizens were kidnapped and later released in Isanlu Isin; the traditional council, Isanlu Isin Development Association and critical stakeholders have taken some urgent security measures which includes the following:
“The local hunters and vigilantes were made to renew their pledges and oath of allegiance. This was done to make sure that bad eggs or sell out amongst them were dealt with because the recent breaches must be as a result of lack of cohesion and dissension.
“All of the branches of security outfits in the town are now to be coordinated by the community’s head of hunters (Oluode) henceforth to ensure unity of purpose.
