Six suspected wildlife traffickers are expected to be arraigned on Monday after being apprehended in possession of two elephant tusks valued at Ksh.5 million and four live terrapins in Kaloleni.

The six, Makutano Kadenge Katana, William Manyaso Ngala, Suleiman Madengo Saha, Kazungu Samuel Kenga, Omar Nyae Kirongo and Rashid Kombo Mazua, were apprehended following a tip off from members of the public in a joint operation spearheaded by the DCI and Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).

“The suspects were escorted to Mariakani Police Station awaiting transfer to Nairobi for further processing and arraignment,” the DCI said in a statement on X.

The DCI subsequently underscored the importance of community involvement and collaboration in combating wildlife trafficking

“This successful operation underscores the power of community vigilance and cooperation in the fight against wildlife trafficking. It is also a testament to our collective commitment to preserving our precious wildlife and holding those who threaten it accountable,” said the DCI.
