The Nigeria Police Force, through the NPF National Cybercrime Centre, has arrested a Nigerian ‘prankster’, Ubani Zion Chibuike (AKA ZFancy), at an apartment in Wuye, Abuja.
A statement by force spokesperson, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi stated that his arrest followed the circulation of accusatory videos on social media, in which ZFancy was alleged to have committed heinous crimes, including rape.
He said the videos caused significant apprehension among social media users.
Speaking further Adejobi said;
” ZFancy came out and claimed the videos were scripted and part of his attempt to regain the spotlight after a break.
“Regardless, such actions have serious implications and can not be taken lightly.
“The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to maintaining public safety and ensuring that individuals are held accountable for actions that incite fear or disturb public peace.
“The Police therefore warns pranksters and content creators to be law-abiding and be conscious of pranks and contents that could pose threats to the public and jeopardise the general security of our country.
“We urge the public to remain calm as we proceed with the necessary legal actions in this case.”
