This comes after he was instructed by the Political Killings Task Team to present himself at his nearest police station in connection with charges related to fraud and defeating or obstructing the course of justice.
Adams was arrested by PKTT members after handing himself over at Parliament Village on Tuesday.
Earlier on Tuesday, the South African Police Service (SAPS) said its Political Killings Task Team had called on Adams to present himself at his nearest police station. National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said officers were in possession of a J50 warrant for Adams’ arrest.
“The warrant relates to serious allegations that he interfered with ongoing investigations into the murder of the late ANC Youth League leader, Mr Sindiso Magaqa,” Mathe said.
She said investigators had found that Adams allegedly interfered with a convicted hitman at a sensitive and advanced stage of the probe. On Sunday Adams had made a series of allegations against SAPS and KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, claiming members of the Political Killings Task Team had raided a house he previously owned in Mitchell’s Plain.
Speaking at a media briefing at Parliament, Adams alleged that about 15 task team members stormed a house in Westridge on Saturday in search of him.
