At around 3:30 PM on February 16, 2025, the Coastal and Inland
Police (PCLF) of Ilha de Moçambique received a report from the local population
in the Jembesse neighborhood, near the bridge, about the presence of a lifeless
body floating in an advanced state of decomposition.
According to a source from the authorities, the body was
identified as belonging to Omar Abudo Taquali, a 74-year-old unmarried man,
born on October 15, 1951, in Lunga-Mussuril, and residing in Ilha de
Moçambique, specifically in the locality of Ampapa.
Taquali was a fisherman by trade and was recognized by his
family, including his son Abudo Taquali and Zena Jamal.
Following the alert, a multi-agency team comprising the PCLF,
the National Public Health Service (SENSAP), the Criminal Investigation Service
(SERNIC), and health authorities was dispatched to the scene. The team
conducted a post-mortem examination, which confirmed that the cause of death
was asphyxiation due to drowning.
Maritime authorities have been increasing awareness campaigns and safety lectures in an effort to reduce
