President Samia Suluhu Hassan condemns the murder of Mohamed Ali Kibao, as calls grow for an independent investigation into the politically charged killing.

Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu Hassan has condemned the killing of opposition figure Mohamed Ali Kibao and ordered an investigation.
Kibao, a senior member of the Chadema party, was abducted from a bus and found dead with signs of severe beating and acid burns on his face.
Opposition leaders and human rights groups are calling for an independent investigation, citing concerns over potential police involvement.
The U.S. Embassy in Tanzania has also urged for a transparent and prompt inquiry into the incident.
Recent arrests of opposition figures and activists have raised fears of a return to repressive policies ahead of upcoming elections.
