Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>At 6:55 a.m. on Monday (11-09), four men being transported in a car tried to kidnap businessman Momad Hanif, owner of \u2018O Nosso Talho\u2019, in the Alto-Mae\u0301 neighbourhood, Kampfumo municipal district, Maputo city \u2013 a location itself near two police stations.<\/p>\n

The kidnappers tried to snatch the businessman in a street full of commercial establishments and security cameras, but the selflessness of citizens in the area saved Hanif from the action of criminals intending to claim yet another victim.<\/p>\n

Had it not been for this intervention, this would have been the first kidnapping to be recorded since the new Interior Minister Pascoal Paulo Ronda took office with a strong mandate to address the kidnappings that have proliferated in Mozambique in recent years, scaring away several businessmen and their families.<\/p>\n

Despite the arrest of some members of organised crime syndicates, the fact is that the kidnapping industry continues to flourish, claiming victims such as businesswoman Sheinaz Gani, who has remained in captivity for approximately three months despite the arrest of two members of a network linked by the authorities to her kidnapping.<\/p>\n

This is the second businessman to escape kidnapping in the city of Maputo, the first surviving thanks to the prompt action of Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) agents who intercepted the would-be kidnappers and detained two network members of South African nationality.<\/p>\n
