The Boko Haram gang is believed to be running an extortion syndicate in Mamelodi.
JOHANNESBURG - A gang expert is warning that the murder of the alleged kingpin of the notorious Boko Haram criminal group will likely lead to a succession race within the criminal organisation.
Mamelodi residents have told Eyewitness News that they were relieved to learn that Philip Mnguni was killed this week in a dramatic shooting near the Diamond Hill Plaza. Gauteng police deployed a task team in Mamelodi following several murders of people linked to the Boko Haram gang by someone that the community has dubbed "John Wick"."People seem to think that by virtue of deploying more and more police to an area you somehow eradicate a gang. But ti doesn't work like that because the police are not dealing with the drivers of gangsterism, they're merely dealing with the effects.
It's yet to be seen whether the Boko Haram extortion syndicate will continue or if there will be a newer player in town.
