Africa Gets 20 Years in Caddle Contracted Killing

A Hudson County man was sentenced today.

FROM THE DAILY VOICE: A currently incarcerated career criminal from Philadelphia was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for the contract killing of a veteran campaign consultant in New Jersey.

Bomani Africa, 62, previously admitted accepting payment from former political operative Sean Caddle to whack former associate Michael Galdieri.

Galdieri, the 52-year-old son of former State Sen. James Galdieri (D-Jersey City), was stabbed to death in his Jersey City apartment, which was then set on fire, in May 2014.

The killing had publicly remained a cold case until January 2022, when Caddle pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Newark to setting it up. He’s scheduled to be sentenced on March 22.

Africa – whose criminal history already included convictions for robbery and drug-related crime beginning soon after he turned 18 – also took a deal from the government, pleading guilty in the same court the following week to conspiracy to commit murder.
