According to him, the aim of the the suspected terrorists was to raid all banks in the state.
He said nobody was however arrested in the operations that lasted several hours.
He added that there was no casualty on the side of the security operatives.
“We’ll go after them. In fighting crime, we must keep the criminals on the move. We’ll diminish their capabilities, because they cannot rob banks again,” he said.
