Mwanamke wa Uingereza aliyetekwa nyara katika mji wa Blantyre, kusini mwa Malawi, aliokolewa na kuunganishwa tena na familia yake baada ya polisi kuwaua watuhumiwa wanne wa utekaji nyara katika mapambano ya risasi, mamlaka zilisema. Nusrat Osman, mwenye umri wa miaka 47, mzaliwa wa Leicester, Uingereza, na anayeripotiwa kufanya kazi kwa kampuni ya ukaguzi wa fedha nchini Malawi, alitekwa nyara karibu na mchana wa tarehe 11 Septemba. Alipatikana salama tarehe 18 Septemba, wiki moja baada ya kutekwa nyara.
Polisi ilisema watuhumiwa waliomteka nyara Osman walikuwa na silaha za bunduki ya AK-47 na bastola. Wakati wa operesheni ya kumwokoa, maafisa walipambana kwa risasi na wanaume hao wanne, wote waliouawa. Kwa mujibu wa polisi, afisa mkuu wa polisi wa Malawi alijeruhiwa katika mapambano hayo na yuko katika hali imara hospitalini.
Mamlaka bado hazijaeleza kwa kina sababu ya utekaji nyara huo wala kusema kama kuna watuhumiwa wengine wanaotafutwa. Osman aliunganishwa tena na familia yake baada ya uokoaji na alipelekwa kwa uchunguzi wa kiafya. Kesi hiyo ilivutia hisia kubwa nchini Malawi na Uingereza kutokana na uhaba wa raia wa kigeni kulengwa kwa utekaji nyara nchini humo.
