A businessman has been ordered by a court to surrender his luxury car, which he used to transport illegal elephant tusks in Laikipia County, handing the State a partial victory in an asset recovery case tied to wildlife crimes.

The High Court ruled that the Mercedes-Benz vehicle linked to Jackson Mbugua Burugu was an instrument of crime after it was seized while transporting four elephant tusks weighing 69.2 kilogrammes.
