Thursday, June 11,
2026 - Law enforcement officers from Marsabit Police Station have arrested
three suspects and recovered 13 pieces of elephant tusks through an
intelligence-led operation.
Acting on a tip-off, the officers raided a residential house
in the Majengo area.
The suspects, identified as Wario Ali Halo, Umuro Afani Duba and Alkano Elema Galgalo, thought they were safe behind closed
doors.
However, officers stormed the hideout, catching the trio
completely off guard.
A thorough search of the premises led officers to a
suspicious green sack placed on the floor.
Inside, they discovered 13 pieces of elephant tusks believed
to be from illegally poached wildlife, highlighting the ongoing threat to
Kenya’s endangered species.
The three suspects, together with the recovered contraband,
were escorted to Marsabit Police Station, where they are currently being
processed ahead of their court appearance.
Meanwhile, the tusks have been securely detained as
exhibits.
Authorities say the operation underscores ongoing efforts to combat wildlife trafficking and protect Kenya’s natural heritage.
