The suspects were arrested on October 21, 2021, near Kamboni as they were transferring the nine pieces of ivory from Kamboni to Kasungu.

Officials from the department then mounted a snap roadblock where they found the three in possession of nine pieces of ivory weighing 16 kilogrammes.<\/p>\n

Kasungu Police Publicist, Sub Inspector Joseph Kachikho, said the pieces of ivory will be taken to wildlife experts for analysis and the suspects will appear before court soon.<\/p>\n

Makina hails from Mkalazi Village, Traditional Authority Mkanda in Mchinji while Mwale and Banda are from Ng\u2019ombeyagwado, Traditional Authority Kawamba in Kasungu<\/p>\n
