Adams was arrested shortly after the South African Police Service (SAPS) issued an arrest warrant for him. He was charged with fraud and defeating the ends of justice after he was accused of interfering with former African National Congress Youth League secretary-general Sindiso Magaqa’s murder case. Although he denied it, he was nonetheless arrested at the Parliamentary villages.

Why was Fadiel Adams arrested?

Adams was arrested after the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) urged him to hand himself over to the police. He was accused of allegedly interfering with a convicted hitman at a critical stage of the investigation. Adams previously accused the police of intimidation. He alleged that members of the PKTT targeted him after men claiming to be police officers conducted a raid at a home in Mitchell’s Plain on 2 May. The men searched the house and asked for proof that Adams no longer lived there. They did not take anything. Adams has maintained his innocence and has denied the allegations against him.
