Nigerian skit maker Zion Ubani, also known as Zfancy, has been granted bail following his arrest over a disturbing prank video he recorded.

The National Cybercrime Centre of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) arrested Zfancy on July 4, 2024, over a prank video that falsely accused him of serious crimes, including sexual offenses like rape.

Addressing the public about Zfancy's release, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Public Relations Officer of NPF, revealed that he has been released with a stern warning to avoid creating content that may cause public uproar and unrest.

ACP Adejobi mentioned that Zfancy was released to the council of the Practitioners Content Creation, Skit-Making, and Influencers Guild of Nigeria for necessary disciplinary action to be taken against him.

The delegation, led by the special assistant to the President on ICT Development and Digital Innovation, Tokoni Igoin, facilitated his release.

Adejobi noted that the controversial videos were ultimately found to be scripted.

"While encouraging positive creativity among the youthful populace, the NPF urges content creators to use social media responsibly and avoid spreading misinformation that may incite public disorder," he said in a report on asaaseradio.com.
