Man arrested for possessing raw ivory

Police in Chikwawa have arrested 40-year-old Edward Kachala for possessing 10 kilograms of raw ivory.

Chikwawa Police Station spokesperson Dickson Matemba said Kachala’s arrest follows a tip-off from community members that he was offering the said ivory for sale.

The law enforcers and Parks and Wildlife officers then raided the suspect’s house at Ngabu and seized him and the trophy.

According to Matemba, Kachala will appear before Chikwawa Magistrate Court to answer the charge of possession and dealing in government trophy, contrary to Section 86 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act of 2017.

Kachala comes from Chituwi Village Traditional Authority Ngabu in Chikwawa.
