Hong Kong seizes ivory, rhino horns worth £3.4m in container from Nigeria [PHOTOS]


I don’t gerrit, ivory, rhino horns and leopard skins from Nigeria? Well, this is how the story was reported.
Customs officials in Hong Kong have seized a shipment of illegal ivory, rhino horns and leopard skins worth £3.4 million.
It is Hong Kong's second big bust of endangered species products in a month and the latest in a string of seizures over the past year.
A government statement said 1,120 ivory tusks, 13 rhino horns and five pieces of leopard skin were confiscated at Hong Kong's port.
The 2.2-tonne haul was found hidden in a container declared as wood from Nigeria.
Last month, more than two tonnes of elephant tusks worth an estimated £1.46 million were confiscated by customs officials, who said it was the city's biggest ivory seizure since 2010.
