Naira notes: Hoodlums plotting to attack banks in Kwara – Police

The police in Kwara State have disclosed that they have uncovered plots by hoodlums to attack commercial banks following the ongoing hardship that trailed the new naira policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Spokesman of the command, Ajayi Okasanmi, said, “Intelligence available to the command shows that hoodlums have perfected plans to replicate the lawlessness that was unleashed on some banks in some states in the country owing to the crisis emanating from the naira notes swap.
