Mohammed Dewji, Africa's youngest billionaire, has been released from kidnappers following his abduction on October 11.

The businessman, also known as Mo, announced in a tweet shared on his company MeTL Group's page on Saturday, that he had "returned home safely" and thanked "fellow Tanzanians, and everyone around the world for their prayers."

January Makamba, the country's environment minister, says Dewji was left near the the Gymkhana club in Dar es Salam. Dewji had bruises on his arms and legs due to being tied, reports BBC Africa. Makamba gave an update on his friend's health via Twitter, stating that "in his voice he's the usual Mo. So he is okay."

According to CNN, Dewji attended a press conference after being found around 3:15 am. It is not known whether a ransom was paid for Dewji's release.

With a net worth of 1.5 billion, according to Forbes, Dewji is Tanzania's richest man. He served two terms in parliament before taking on his family's business full time.

Dewji was seized by gunmen outside of the upscale Colosseum Hotel in the neighborhood of Oyster Bay as he was headed to workout. Dewji, nicknamed Mo, is not known to travel with security.

Following his abduction, his family offered a $437,000 reward for information that would lead to his safe return.

Folks have been reacting to Dewji's release on social media since Saturday, with many expressing thanks for his safe return, and some claiming that, to them, it seems the story doesn't quite add up. Some have even offered their own theories on what happened to Dewji.
