Police from the Jikaze Post, aided by Kenya Wildlife Service officers, rounded up three suspected poachers in Laikipia County on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, and seized six elephant tusks. The men were taken into custody with the ivory and are awaiting court hearing, while the stolen material has been catalogued as evidence. The National Police Service underlined that poaching poses a grave danger to Kenya’s wildlife heritage, destroying endangered species, disturbing ecosystems, and weakening the conservation framework that sustains biodiversity, tourism, and community incomes. The Service pledged to continue partnering with allied agencies to tackle poaching and illegal wildlife trafficking nationwide.
