Nigerian skitmaker and prankster, Zion Ubani, popularly known as Zfancy has been granted bail following his recent arrest for sharing disturbing pranks on social media.
After being detained on July 4 in Abuja by the NPF-National Cybercrime Centre for making prank movies falsely accusing him of serious crimes, including rape, the Nigeria Police Force has verified the release of the skit maker.
ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, provided an update on Wednesday, stating that Zfancy had been given bail and cautioned “to avoid pranks that could cause public unrest.”
Zfancy was released, according to Adejobi, to the executive members of the Nigerian Guild of Influencers, Skit Makers, and Practitioners of Content Creation.
He said that his release was made possible by the delegation, which was headed by Tokoni Igoin, Special Assistant to the President on ICT Development and Digital Innovation.
Adejobi pointed out that it was eventually discovered that the contentious videos were scripted.
He said; “The videos were later found to be scripted.”
“He has been warned to avoid pranks that could cause public unrest.”
“While encouraging positive creativity among the youthful populace, the NPF urges content creators to responsibly use social media and avoid spreading misinformation that may incite public disorder,” Adejobi noted.
