4 traffickers arrested in Gulu with 16kg Ivory and a rifle
Uganda, 17 Mar 2017
4 traffickers arrested in Gulu with 16kg Ivory. A serious security risk was dodged. One of the traffickers concealed in the sponge on the sit of his bike an AK47 assault rifle with a bullet already loaded in the chamber, ready to shoot.
The trafficker, reportedly a former LRA rebel, came to the deal ready to quickly use the semi-automatic weapon against anyone coming to arrest him.
The hero of the day is Abel, heading the operation, who has acted in an exemplary manner heading the operation. He did not underestimate threats, endured police surveillance beforehand and put a strong emphasis on swift and strong action. His rigor in operations may have saved lives today.
