Nusrat Osman, a 47-year-old British mother from Leicester, was abducted by four armed men in Blantyre, Malawi five days ago and remains missing with no contact from the captors. Her family has made a public appeal, but have disclosed no information about a motive for the kidnapping or any demands from the abductors.

Osman, described as a well-liked auditor, was targeted for reasons her family says they do not understand. The unexplained nature of the abduction has left her relatives searching for answers whilst seeking any information that might lead to her safe return.
