According to the Aviation Police Commandant LodovickAwita the marking on the recovered elephant tusks indicate that the ivory was from outside Uganda so they have to go through a forensic analysis to determine the country of origin.

Apart from the elephant tusks, the consignment of 6 wooden boxes contained more than 100 processed ivory inform of bangles.

Five security personnel have so far been arrested for alleged connivance to export the ivory.

A kilogram of ivory on the black market costs US$2,500 while a single processed bangle goes for US$500.
