Adeleke in a statement yesterday by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, hailed the alertness of security operatives to eliminate the threats posed by the suspected terrorists.
He said the action gave further assurance that security agencies are up to the task of sustaining peace and security of every part of Nigeria.
Adeleke particularly commended the intelligence gathering of the personnel of the State Service, who have painstakingly monitored the activities of the suspected criminals and moved swiftly to cut off their dastardly act.
