The information was contained in a post shared on X on Wednesday by security analyst, Zagazola Makama.
According to the post, the incident happened at about 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday in the Zawan area, where troops of Sector 6 carried out routine checks on a commercial vehicle.
The suspects were identified as Patience John, 28, and Shamsu Ibrahim, 29.
During the search, soldiers reportedly discovered two rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition hidden in a bag belonging to the suspects.
