A number of allegations have been circulating on social media regarding the murder of Niah Gang. The rumours pointing fingers at various suspects in his killing have not gone unnoticed by the Jamaica Constabulary Force. In fact, it has been revealed that investigators are probing the allegations. Most of the accusations list TikTokers Jaii Figure It Out and his brother, Akeem, as suspects in the crime. The allegations initially blamed them for having Niah killed. However, later accusations pointed fingers at other men known by their aliases “Biggs” and “Crush Bread” in the Old Habour community.
A report from the Jamaica Star detailed that the authorities are working nonstop to catch the killer. The report mentioned that there are no suspects in custody. However, rumours recently circulated that the police gathered a group of men from the community for questioning.
Xavier ‘Niah Gang’ Fogah’s death shook the nation and gained international attention. The 23-year-old TikToker, who has a daughter, was gunned down at his home while streaming live on TikTok on December 7. Many public social media influencers and entertainers have reacted to the tragedy, expressed their condolences, and shown their support to the grieving family.
According to the report, the detectives are paying keen attention to what is shared online as it provides clues that will lead them to solve the murder. The report highlighted that every post, comment, and theory is being observed by the authorities.
In a statement to the Jamaica Star, Deputy Superintendent of Police Michael Campbell said, “A number of things have been highlighted, and every single one, investigators are looking into.”
Campbell noted that some of the posts may be created just for “hype and views,” but that would not stop the investigators from digging into them. In his words, the “investigators explore all angles until they find things of evidential value that can help with investigations.”
While some social media users expressed concern that the circulating allegations may interfere with the police investigation, Campbell praised social media users for helping to highlight “criminal activities” through their claims.
