Dangote denies being held hostage, as gunmen attack Bamako-Mali hotel.
Gunmen shouting Islamic slogans attacked a luxury hotel full of foreigners in Mali’s capital Bamako early on Friday morning, taking 170 people hostage, a senior security source and the hotel’s operator said. This is even as Africa’s Richest man, Aliko Dangote, who was rumored to be one of the hostages, refuted the reports in a tweet via his Twitter handle @AlikoDangote.
