Tanzania police chief Friday revealed what he said was crucial information in the abduction of billionaire businessman Mohammed Dewji.
Inspector General of Police Simon Sirro said that the dark blue Toyota Surf used in the kidnapping had been driven from a neighbouring country, which he did not name.
He said that the car, registration number AGX 404 MC, entered the country on September 1, 2018, driven by a person identified as Obasanjo Zacharias Junior. He however did not reveal the border entry point.
Mr Dewji, popularly known as Mo, was abducted in the early hours of October 11 at the luxury Colosseum Hotel in Oyster Bay northwest Dar es Salaam where he had just arrived for a morning workout at the hotel’s gym.
Last week, the authorities implicated foreigners saying Mr Dewji was captured by two white men.
Mr Sirro, addressing journalists in Dar es Salaam on Friday, said CCTV footage showed that the abductors fled eastwards from the hotel through Haile Selassie, Ally Hassan Mwinyi, Kimeri, Maandazi and Mwai Kibaki roads before disappearing in Mlalakuwa near Kawe roundabout.

He said the footage was obtained from cameras installed in residences in Oyster Bay.
The police chief appealed to citizens to volunteer any information that would help in the investigations.
“We are in touch with our Interpol colleagues and investigations are ongoing,” he added.
On Monday, Mo’s family announced a Tsh1 billion ($437,000) reward to anyone who would provide information that would help find him.
I thought since megafools turned Tz into a police state then the apprehension of the culprits would be swift. With their nyumba kumi system where half of the country reports on daily activities of the other half of the population, it would be easy to reveal their hideout. The more this goes on the more it will start to look like a state operation.
Lazima shiny eye awe kwa deal mega jackpot Kama hiiii…
najua kitu 6 months from release ya the billionaire utaskia kuna na shiny eyes anapandisha ghorofa Kumi at once
I told you all the guy was most likely taken out of the country hours after he was kidnapped. This was a very clean professional job that a select few could carry out. Absolutely no clues left the idiotic Tanzanian police are running around rounding petty crooks and calling it major development. The same idiotic Tz cops are revealing number plates but keeping the country confidential. Ghasia wajinga:D:D I still maintain he was propably kidnapped by either ex western special forces or South African mercenaries. Dude is now propably in a white Afrikaner ranch huko S. A. Expect the largest ransom payment of Africa in Bitcoin.
This may be a case of him being kidnapped by powerfull forces within tz…
Which kidnapper is gonna snatch you with a car with foreign plates. It will stand out too much. Even in kenya carjackers love common cars with a common color as its inconspicuos.
So some wazungus drove into a black country, kidnapped a billionaire in a car with foreign plates and left?
if there was gonna be a ransom demand, it would have been delivered by now. Besides, kidnappers tend to target your kids (remember the popat case?). I mean, why target the one person who has access to the money via bank accounts etc? Am pretty sure that dude has been khoshaggied vibaya sana.
