Kwara State Police Command said that it has deployed more personnel to banks and other financial institutions in the state to secure them from attacks by hoodlums.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr Paul Odama, said in a statement on Saturday that he has ordered aggressive patrols of banks and other financial facilities across the length and breadth of the state to shield them from exposure to hoodlums.
A statement signed by the spokesperson for the command, SP Ajayi Okasanmi, on Saturday, read, “Intelligence available to the command indicates that hoodlums have perfected plans to replicate the lawlessness that was unleashed on some banks in some states of the country, owing to the crisis emanating from the naira note swap that is ongoing in Nigeria at present, which the government is doing all within its power to normalise.
