According to him, one of the suspects attempted to evade the operatives before he was caught.
“A search of the premises led to the recovery of two locally fabricated guns and 10 expended cartridges.
“Further investigation led to the arrest of another suspect, in whose residence, one pump-action gun and one live cartridge were recovered,” he said.
Edafe said that both suspects claimed to be members of the Nigeria Hunters and Forest Security outfit.
He, however, said the suspects could not provide identification to substantiate their claims.
The PPRO said the suspects are currently in the custody of the command, adding that investigation into the matter is on course.
