The body of Ally Kibao, a senior member of Tanzania's opposition party CHADEMA, was discovered near Dar es Salaam after he was abducted by armed men from a bus. Party chairman Freeman Mbowe reported that Kibao had been severely beaten and had acid poured on his face, prompting demands for a judicial inquiry into his murder. President Samia Suluhu Hassan has ordered an investigation, although concerns remain about police involvement, especially following recent arrests of CHADEMA supporters.
