'The leaders of a global wildlife trafficking gang have been convicted after a
four-year investigation and a trial in Nigeria.

They pleaded guilty last month to smuggling the scales of endangered African
pangolins.

These "top-of-the-pyramid" traffickers were responsible for half the illegal
trade in pangolin scales.

This is the story of how they were outwitted by fake buyers and sting
operations - conducted by a small European charity.'
