The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), with support from the Wildlife Justice Commission, successfully conducted two major operations on 8 August 2024, resulting in the combined seizure of over 9.4 tonnes of pangolin scales and arrests of four suspects. These operations mark a significant achievement in the ongoing efforts to dismantle wildlife trafficking networks in Nigeria.
In early 2024, the Wildlife Justice Commission launched a series of training and mentoring programs. These initiatives were designed to empower Mozambican law enforcement agencies, particularly SERNIC, in their efforts to disrupt organised wildlife trafficking networks.
