The motive for last Thursday’s abduction of Tanzania’s only and Africa’s youngest billionaire remain unknown.

Mo Dewji was kidnapped as he entered a luxury gymnasium in Dar es Salaam.

Police have arrested 20 people in connection with the abduction.

Authorities say two white men are behind the crime.

Dewji, who turned a family business into an Africa-wide conglomerate,  promised in 2016 to give half his money to philanthropic causes.

He served as a ruling party MP for a decade until 2015 and is the sponsor of leading Tanzanian football team Simba.
