SAPS distances itself from reports that suspects have been arrested for the disappearance of the Moti brothers
It's been exactly 10 days since news broke of the alleged kidnapping of brothers Zia
(15), Alaan (13), Zayyad (11) and 6-year-old Zidan in Polokwane while they were being driven to school.
As the country waits with bated breath for any news regarding the whereabouts and well-being of the brothers, South African Police Service (SAPS) spokesperson Vishnu Naidoo says a recent article stating that suspects have been arrested in connection with the kidnapping, is false.
“An article carried by a media house in the East Rand in Gauteng which suggests there have been arrests in an alleged kidnapping case is misleading.”
This comes after Benoni City Times reported that the Benoni SAPS station commander Thabo Mphuthi confirmed that two Benoni residents ,are being detained at the station in connection with the kidnapping of the four Moti brothers.
Naidoo says SAPS distances itself from the article and any of the information offered.
“The South African Police Service therefore distances itself from the said article. The SAPS is again requesting that matters which are likely to place the lives of people at risk be handled with utmost sensitivity.”
After the initial confirmation by Limpopo Police of an abduction, no new information has been confirmed by either police or the family.
