Seven empty magazines, 50 rounds of live AK-47 ammo, three Tecno phones, 11 phone batteries, charms, clothing, and N255,000 were also seized.
Ajayi Okasanmi, the command’s spokesperson, claimed that the suspect escaped on a bike.
He said: “A detachment of policemen detailed to monitor the axis sighted and flagged down a Bajaj motorcycle operator for a routine check.
“Surprisingly, the rider of the motorcycle jumped down from the motorcycle and ran into the bush.
