The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the release of skit maker and prankster Zion Ubani, popularly known as Zfancy.
Zfancy was arrested on July 4 by the NPF-National Cybercrime Centre in Abuja over prank videos that accused him of heinous crimes, including rape.
In an update on Wednesday, Force Public Relations Officer ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi announced that Zfancy was released on bail. Adejobi's statement noted that Zfancy was released to the executives of the Practitioners of Content Creation, Skit-Making, and Influencers Guild of Nigeria (PCCSIGN), with the delegation led by Tokoni Peter Igoin, Special Assistant to the President on ICT Development and Digital Innovation.
"The videos were later found to be scripted," Adejobi said. "He has been warned to avoid pranks that could cause public unrest. While encouraging positive creativity among the youth, the NPF urges content creators to responsibly use social media and avoid spreading misinformation that may incite public disorder."
