A suspected ivory smuggler has denied trafficking 11kg of elephant tusks worth Sh1.1 million. He was arrested by Kenya Wildlife Service and police officers on Thursday. He pleaded not guilty to both charges and was released on Sh1 million bond with a similar surety or Sh800,000 bail. Wambura pleaded for a review of the bond terms but resident magistrate Anne Karimi dismissed his plea. On December 12, a 40-year-old man was arrested and detained at Migori police station after he was found with Sh5.4 million trophy.
