3 ivory traffickers arrested with 8 ivory tusks in the centre of the country. They transported the ivory to the place of transaction on a canoe, concealed in a bag of cassava flour, to deceive the authorities. They are connected to a ring of traffickers operating at the border area with Democratic Republic of Congo.
They were swiftly prosecuted and sentenced to jail, one of them for 3 years, the two others for 2 years in prison.
