South African Woman Gets Life Sentence for Plotting Husband’s Murder
A 44-year-old South African woman, Faith Nongcebo Ntombela, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for orchestrating the murder of her husband, Captain Zwelakhe Ntombela.
The Durban High Court delivered the verdict on Friday, November 29, 2024. Captain Ntombela, a Durban Metro Police officer, was fatally shot on May 3, 2023, outside his home in Umlazi.
Investigations by the Hawks revealed that Faith had stolen her husband’s service and private firearms prior to the incident.
Hawks KZN spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Simphiwe Mhlongo, disclosed that the investigation led to the arrest of 28-year-old Mzo Ntombela in July 2023.
His arrest helped uncover the involvement of Faith, along with her accomplices, primary school principal Sithembiso Khumalo and Khulani Cele, who assisted in hiring a hitman.
Mzo pleaded guilty and received a 20-year sentence for murder. On Friday, Faith was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, along with additional concurrent sentences for firearm theft and obstructing justice. Cele and Khumalo’s trial is set to continue in April 2025.
KwaZulu-Natal Hawks Provincial Head, Major General Lesetja Senona, commended the court’s decision, emphasizing the importance of justice in cases of organized crime.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
