The Nigeria Police Force has released a popular skit maker and prankster, Zion Ubani, better known as Zfancy on bail.
This was confirmed in a statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, FPRO, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi on Wednesday.
ZFancy was arrested last Wednesday at an apartment in Abuja over his viral content which the police described as inciteful.
The police later declared its readiness to proceed with legal actions against the popular prankster.
The police also alleged that the detained content creator had engaged in serious offences that pose a significant threat to national security, leading to his arrest and detention.
However, in recent update on the issue, Adejobi said the young man was released to the executives of the Practitioners of Content Creation, Skit-Making and Influencers Guild of Nigeria (PCCSIGN).
According to him, the delegation was led to the Force Headquarters by Tokoni Peter Igoin, Special Assistant to the President on ICT Development and Digital Innovation.
His statement reads: “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,” Adejobi added.
