Aliko Dangote is the richest businessman in Africa and of course a Nigerian. He travels a lot on business within Africa in a matter of days and a rumour went around that he was in that Mali Radisson Blu hotel on Friday November 20th. Thank God he was in Mali the day before. It is unimaginable how some people escape death these days. Below is the tweet he sent out.
Rumour about me being held hostage is false. I was in Mali yesterday.Thank you for your concern. My prayers with those involved.— Aliko Dangote (@AlikoDangote) November 20, 2015
