Real-life John Wick kills Boko Haram boss and other gang members - for murdering his dog

A man was dubbed the real-life John Wick after allegedly killing the members of a gang one by one in bloody assassinations.

The unidentified vigilante became a local hero in the township of Mamelodi in the city of Tshwane, South Africa, over the summer when he is believed to have carried out his first attack.

He has been targeting members of a gang called ‘Boko Haram’ which is not believed to be affiliated with the Boko Haram terrorist organisation present in Nigeria, Chad and Mali.

The man, nicknamed 'John Wick' after the fictional character in the film series John Wick, started his killing spree against the Boko Haram gang in August.

The last suspected attack was on October 26 after an absence of over two weeks since he last struck on October 10.

In that time, the vigilante killer is believed to have been responsible for at least seven deaths and gang members are now living in fear.

Local media said ‘John Wick’ started trending on Twitter after the suspected gangster was allegedly killed by the same vigilante who had been carrying out similar shootings in the area since August.

Social media users in South Africa shared John Wick memes related to the latest suspected killing, with some posts showing some of the alleged criminals killed by the fugitive, but they were fake.

Tebogo Mashigo, head of the Community Policing Forum in Mamelodi West, said that residents are praising the vigilante for doing the police's work.

However, as the bodies of Boko Haram gang members pile up, the ‘John Wick’ killer may not be the local hero many residents believe he is.

Pretoria News said the vigilante could be linked to the ‘Bafarasai’, a breakaway gang of the Boko Haram gang, which is trying to seize control of the area.

When asked about the public perception of the killings, Brenda Muridili said that locals “know what they know, but the investigation is not corroborating what they know.”
