When challenged, the suspects opened fire, prompting police to respond in self-defence, neutralizing one suspect, while the second escaped with gunshot injuries.
Recovered items include 586 rounds of AK-47 ammunition, three magazines, a camouflage uniform, a military-style bag, two mobile phones, cash of over four hundred thousand naira, and the unregistered motorcycle used by the suspects.
