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.
