A Chinese national jailed for eleven years in his home country for trafficking in wildlife trophies has been arrested as he tried to sneak back into Kenya.
Xue Jingme, 54, and holder of passport number EJ9670115, was seized on Saturday at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) after landing from China. The suspect was taken to Langata Police Station for detention, awaiting deportation.
The Immigration Department had issued a Red Alert after being requested by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). According to the officials, Jingme is the mastermind of an ivory trafficking syndicate operating in Kenya.
