Popular prankster Zfancy has been released by the police after spending a week in custody.

According to a police statement on Wednesday, July 10, he was granted bail and handed over to the Practitioners of Content Creation, Skit-Making, and Influencers Guild of Nigeria (PCCSIGN).

Zfancy was initially arrested on July 3 at an apartment in Abuja for creating prank videos that allegedly depicted serious offenses, including rape. The police confirmed his arrest on July 4, stating it was in relation to one of his prank videos.

However, it was later clarified that the videos were staged and scripted, with Zfancy’s intentions being purely for entertainment.

It continued, “Recall that Mr. Ubani was arrested by the NPF-National Cybercrime Centre 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 among the youthful populace, the NPF urges content creators to responsibly use social media and avoid spreading misinformation that may incite public disorder.”
