The 260 kilograms consignment valued at Sh33.8 million was packed in 12 boxes when it was discovered at the airport’s cargo section.
JKIA’s CID boss Joseph Ngisa said the consignment with fake customs documents was delivered at the airport by a courier on Thursday night.
“The consignment packed in cartons was delivered at the airport last night at about 10 pm,” Ngisa said on telephone from the airport.
“It was discovered to be ivory by KWS sniffer dogs, and upon checking the documents it was found to have been destined for Kuala Lumpur,” he added, “We are now looking for the owners, and anyone involved in this.”
“It is a major consignment,” he added.
