Tanzania opposition youth leader abducted from bus station

Tanzanian police are investigating the reported kidnapping of opposition youth leader Abdul Nondo.

According to the ACT Wazalendo party, Nondo was abducted by unknown assailants from a bus station in Dar es Salaam early Sunday.

Police confirmed that a man was taken by two individuals in a white four-wheel-drive vehicle, and items believed to belong to Nondo were found at the scene.

This incident follows the September kidnapping and killing of Chadema party leader Ali Mohamed Kibao.

ACT Wazalendo expressed concern over the abduction, as Nondo had just returned from campaigning in the western region for local government elections.

The motive behind the kidnapping remains unclear.
