The suspects, identified as Mohammed Abdul-Salam (28) and Karim Yakubu (42), were spotted hiding in a bush along a section of the road.
The two, according to the police, attempted to flee the scene upon noticing a police patrol team.

However, the police officers managed to rescue them from the pit and successfully arrested them.
The police retrieved one (01) shotgun, three (03) AAA cartridges and one Nokia keypad mobile phone after they were arrested.
The suspects are currently in police custody assisting investigations.
