A chilling kidnapping has left the Eastern Cape community on edge, as police search for a 20-year-old foreign national student who was abducted in the late hours of Saturday, 9 November, in Gelvandale, Gqeberha. The victim, Qays Mohaned Hersi Mohamoud, a Somalian national, was forcibly taken from his vehicle by armed suspects in what appears to be a brazen and violent attack.

According to police spokesperson Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg, the ordeal began around 7:00 p.m. when Mohamoud and a friend were driving a dark-grey VW Tiguan at the intersection of Aubrey Street and Kobus Road, Parkside. As they passed an unknown white vehicle, the car suddenly stopped in front of them, forcing them to halt. Simultaneously, another vehicle blocked them from behind. Two armed suspects approached the vehicle, brandishing firearms, and ordered the occupants out at gunpoint. They demanded money and cellphones before violently dragging the driver from the car and forcing him into the suspect vehicle. The kidnappers then sped off, leaving the passenger behind.

The terrifying abduction has prompted an urgent investigation by the Gqeberha Provincial Organised Crime Anti-Gang Unit. While the motive behind the kidnapping remains unclear, no ransom demands have been made, and the victim’s whereabouts are still unknown. The police have impounded the stolen VW Tiguan for further analysis. Authorities are calling on the public to come forward with any information that could help in locating Mohamoud and bringing the perpetrators to justice. Anyone with relevant details is urged to contact Detective Warrant Officer Neville Gouws or call CrimeStop at 08600 10111.

The case has raised serious concerns about the growing danger of violent crime in the region, and local authorities are intensifying efforts to track down the suspects responsible for this horrific act.
