[The Nation] The Diocese of Lagos West (Anglican Communion) has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to overhaul the security system to successfully fight insurgency.

It condemned the abduction of over 200 girls from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, and urged the government to ensure that they are rescued alive.

These are contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the Third Session of the Fifth Synod held at the Archbishop Vining Memorial Church Cathedral, GRA, Ikeja, signed by the Diocesan Bishop Revd. James Olusola Odedeji; Clerical Synod Secretary Ven. Tope Adewumi and Lay Synod Secretary Mrs Olateju Akindolire.
