Prankster Zion Ubani, popularly known as Zfancy, has been released by the police one week after his arrest.
A statement by the police on Wednesday said he was released on bail to the executives of the Practitioners of Content Creation, Skit-Making and Influencers Guild of Nigeria (PCCSIGN).
Zfancy was arrested by the NPF-National Cybercrime Centre in Abuja on Wednesday last week over prank videos accusing him of heinous crimes, including rape. 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,” the police statement said.
