Vietnamese police and customs officers seized one ton of ivory that was hidden in four containers of peanuts imported from Nigeria at the northern port of Hai Phong on Tuesday.
The elephant tusks, most of which were chopped into chunks, were hidden in 30 bags placed at the far end of the containers, of which the designated consignee was a company based in Quang Ninh.
The company, however, denied being the receiver.
