What you need to know:

  • Yesterday, the Inspector General of Police revealed that Mr Dewji’s abductors used a navy blue Toyota Surf with foreign registration number AGX 404 MC, but the car used to dump the businessman this morning has Tanzanian plate numbers T314 AXX.

Dar es Salaam. Did Mo Dewji’s abductors change the registration plates of the getaway vehicle before dumping him in the city this morning? Was there one vehicle or two? These are some of the questions being asked as it emerges that the details of the vehicle seen this morning are different from the ones police released at a press conference yesterday.    

Mr Dewji was dumped at around 2.45am at the Gymkhana grounds, and the vehicle the abductors are said to have used has a Tanzanian registration plate number T314 AXX.

Yesterday, the Inspector General of Police Simon Sirro told a press conference the billionaire businessman’s assailants used a foreign registered car with plate number AGX 404 MC. In both cases, the make and model of the vehicle is Toyota Surf.
