Vet of the sanctuary, John Kiyang, and the chief in charge of the keepers, Jonathan Kang, accompanied the officers in the operation and the poachers did not resist it. The trip to the sanctuary was not simple and took more than one day, because one truck had an accident and blocked the way. The chimpanzees were highly ressed and when they arrived at the sanctuary they were put into quarantine, were examined and fed.

The babies are two males and one female, called Tikar, Ntui and Ngambe. Ntui, the youngest male, did not want to drink milk in the beginning and took him a while to get used to it. This rescue happened in May and the three chimpanzees are already well adapted to the sanctuary and have two milk bottles every day.
