There is a heavy security presence at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Abeokuta Branch.
Policemen in the early hours of Monday, deployed operatives to the Apex bank branch at Okelewo, Abeokuta to avert possible attacks by criminal elements.
It was gathered that there was an intelligence report that some individuals might attack the bank over their inability to access the newly redesigned naira notes.
Also, some commercial banks in Abeokuta restricted access to their premises over the fear of being attacked by angry customers.
In most banks, customers are only allowed to use of Automated Teller Machines (ATM) instead of going into the banking halls.
It was reported that similar attacks were recorded in other parts of the country last week.
Meanwhile, customers are still in queues waiting to withdraw money from ATMs.
