Africa's youngest billionaire kidnapped by gunmen from luxury hotel

Source: CNN



.
Gunmen have kidnapped an African billionaire from a luxury hotel in Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania, police told CNN.

Mohammed Dewji, 43, was taken by the men who waylaid him as he left the hotel gym after his early morning workout at around 6.30 am local time, police said.

The abductors, who are believed to be foreign nationals, accessed the gym through gates that are believed to have been left open deliberately, Dar es Salaam regional police commissioner Lazaro Mambosaso told CNN.

Reports about Dewji being found are false -- police have been deployed to discover his whereabouts, according to Mambosaso.

Does he not think he is in danger of kidnapping due to his wealth??

Dang I'd have a bunch of ex-Delta/SEALS/Mossad with that kind of dough, I wouldn't want it but you would need it.
