The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the release of skit maker and prankster, Zion Ubani, popularly known as Zfancy. This follows his arrest by the NPF-National Cybercrime Centre on July 4 in Abuja over prank videos that falsely accused him of serious crimes, including rape.

On Wednesday, Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, announced that Zfancy was granted bail with a warning to avoid pranks that could cause public unrest. Adejobi stated that Zfancy was released to the executives of the Practitioners of Content Creation, Skit-Making, and Influencers Guild of Nigeria.

The delegation, led by Tokoni Igoin, Special Assistant to the President on ICT Development and Digital Innovation, facilitated his release. Adejobi also mentioned that the controversial videos were ultimately found to be scripted.

"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," he said.
