The arrest was made during a vehicle search conducted along the Ebonyi-Enugu border on Wednesday, February 8, 2017.
Vanguard News reported that the suspects attempted to escape the scene following the discovery but were hindered due to gunshot wound on their legs.
The DSS officials soon took them to an unknown location where they will be making more investigation on the matter.
