2 traffickers arrested with 2 large tusks. They trafficked the tusks from the Northern part of the country and transported it to the capital city by public transport, concealed in a bag covered with fish for part of the journey, and in an empty cassava flour bag for the rest. They are were operating for many years the trafficking line between DRC and Republic of Congo and connected to a large ring of traffickers, crushed last year when two traffickers, one of them a pastor, were arrested with 30 kg of ivory and prosecuted.
