Happening now: Justice Crack has been arraigned in court in Abuja this morning, as Nigerians are currently protesting for his release.

The tragic death of Manqoba Ntombela, the legendary founder of the music group Woza Afrika, sent shockwaves through South Africa. Known for the iconic hit "Istokvela," Ntombela was more than a musician; he was a dedicated educator and a champion for township economies. On May 15, 2025, Ntombela (62) was shot and killed outside his home in Ratanda, Heidelberg. The incident occurred shortly after he had closed his spaza shop. Reports linked the killing to the "spaza shop mafia"—criminal syndicates notorious for extortion. At the time of his passing, Ntombela served as a key figure in the Mazibuye Kasi Spaza Shops initiative, where he worked to empower local owners and reclaim the township economy. His murder sparked intense public outrage, highlighting the growing danger of extortion gangs that targeted small businesses. South Africa lost a cultural icon and a community pillar. As SAPS investigated the shooting, the music industry mourned a man who had used his voice and business acumen to uplift others. Manqoba Ntombela left behind a legacy of music and activism. 🇿🇦🕊️

“We received a call today asking us to come to the DSS office with a lawyer. The same people we have been pointing fingers at are the ones holding Justice Crack. Since his arrest, he has been handcuffed and blindfolded, kept under the sun during the day and in a cold room at night. Recently, he was secretly moved to the DSS office, while his car remains with the military.” — Randy Peterz giving an update about justice Crack, as he appreciate Nigerians who lend their voices

This is the picture of the police criminal gang leader who intercepted me at Ajao junction on Wednesday morning being 22nd of April, 2026 while going to work at exactly 05:55am. I saw a colleague by name Comrade chinedu . As i cleared to pick him up, they double crossed me with korope bus without reg number. They forced my colleague out of my vehicle and forcefully collected my key from me and pushed me to the back seat and three of them jumped inside my vehicle all dressed in police uniform, well armed and one on mask. They drove off and turned under NAHCO bridge and headed towards Mile 2. On getting to Cele express, they cleared before the bridge and forced me to transfer the sum of 200k into a named first Bank acct and this transfer was made at gunpoint at exactly 6 29am.Immediately they confirmed the alert, they all jumped down from my vehicle and fled into their korope and zoomed off towards Mile 2. Attached below is the receipt of transaction and the picture of their leader. I reported the incident at the police station, showing them the picture of the gang's team lead but the Nigerian police force has not been forthcoming in their investigation. ✍🏽Aare Feyisayo
