Felix Maiva is believed to be involved in a well-known transnational organized crime organization operating in West Africa. In January 2021, a container with nearly five tonnes of elephant ivory was discovered at the Nigerian seaport of Apapa. Another member of this criminal group was convicted by a Nigerian court in June this year. Felix Olame served as a clearing age for the criminal group. The Wildlife Justice Commission wishes to congratulate the NCS for their rapid response resulting in this outstanding outcome.
