The Nigerian Army has deployed troops to commence a coordinated security sweep across three local government areas of Kwara State.
Chief Press Secretary to the state government, Rafiu Ajakaye, who confirmed the development, added that the troops had been deployed in Ifelodun, Edu, and Patigi LGAs.
The government also urged citizens to report suspicious activities or unknown faces found in their locality to security agencies in the state.
Security sources said other agencies, including police and the secret service, have also intensified intelligence gathering efforts in collaboration with the state government to foil any planned attacks on the state.
