Suspected Mozambican kidnapping kingpin nabbed in South Africa
JOHANNESBURG (AA) – A Mozambican national, accused of orchestrating kidnappings for ransom in his home country, has been arrested in South Africa, according to police sources.
Esmael Malude Ramos Nangy, 50, who was wanted for kidnapping cases in Mozambique was arrested by a multidisciplinary security team, including Interpol, over the weekend in an upmarket estate in Centurion near the capital Pretoria, a police statement said.
“The team was acting on a warrant of arrest and an extradition request by the Government of Mozambique,” the statement said.
It said that the suspect was found in possession of a 9mm licensed firearm, 14 9mm cartridges, 5 cellphones, multiple bank cards for South African banks as well as multiple South African and Mozambican phone sim cards.
Kidnappings for ransom are common in Mozambique targeting wealthy families, especially those of Asian origin.
