A Senior Presidential Adviser and two other traffickers were arrested with 183 kg of hippo teeth in a suburb of the capital city. The contraband was concealed in the advisor´s private car. A live Leopard Tortoise and several shells of tortoises were found in his home after the arrest. The presidency of Uganda sent a clear message after the arrest distancing itself from the illegal activity and condemning it. This has been a victory in the fight against corruption and complicity.
