The Nigeria Police Force has officially announced that Zion Ubani, a popular skit maker and prankster better known as Zfancy, has been released.
It is worth stating that the NPF-National Cybercrime Centre had apprehended Zfancy in Abuja on Thursday, July 4, on charges related to his prank videos, which falsely accused him of committing serious crimes such as rape.
In an update on Wednesday, the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, stated that the skit maker has been granted bail and released.
Adejobi stated that the young man was handed over to the executives of the Practitioners of Content Creation, Skit-Making and Influencers Guild of Nigeria (PCCSIGN).
He said that the delegation, led by Tokoni Peter Igoin, Special Assistant to the President on ICT Development and Digital Innovation, visited the Force Headquarters for this purpose.
Adejobi 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 amongst the youthful populace, the NPF urges content creators to responsibly use social media and avoid spreading misinformation that may incite public disorder”.
