ZEYEAMA CLAN, Lofa County \u2013 Two men have been arrested for allegedly killing elephants in Lofa County, the Liberia News Agency (LINA) reported on Monday.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big-boy Forkpa and Koikoi Willie are suspected of shooting a pair of elephants in the Wologizi Park in Zeyeama Clan in the Zorzor District not far from the Guinean border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Freeman, the third suspect, is on the run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigation is currently ongoing to ensure that the perpetrators be punished, said John Flomo, the park\u2019s head warden as per LINA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roaming of elephants has been common in recent weeks, with a couple of the large mammals spotted in Grand Gedeh, 192 miles away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Killing elephants is prohibited under the National Wildlife Conservation and Protected Area Management Law of Liberia. Suspects Forkpa, Willie and Freeman face US$5,000 to US$10,000 in fine or up to four years imprisonment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
