Nigerian skitmaker and prankster, Zion Ubani, popularly known as Zfancy has been granted bail following his recent arrest for sharing disturbing pranks on social media.

After being detained on July 4 in Abuja by the NPF-National Cybercrime Centre for making prank movies falsely accusing him of serious crimes, including rape, the Nigeria Police Force has verified the release of the skit maker.

ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, provided an update on Wednesday, stating that Zfancy had been given bail and cautioned “to avoid pranks that could cause public unrest.”

Zfancy was released, according to Adejobi, to the executive members of the Nigerian Guild of Influencers, Skit Makers, and Practitioners of Content Creation.
