Nigerian singer, Naira Marley who was arrested yesterday by
men of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been released.
Recall that the acting EFCC spokesperson, Mr Tony Orilade in
an interview with our correspondent confirmed his arrest.
According to him: “Yes, he is with us. He’s not the only
person; he had some other persons also arrested alongside (him).
“They were arrested in relation to advance fee fraud —
Internet-related cases and all of that. Give me a little time and I will get
you the details.”
His release was confirmed after a viral video of the singer
emerged of him walking out of the office of the EFCC.
Recall that Marley
had said internet fraudsters (Yahoo boys) help Nigeria’s economy.
The singer, who said this on recently in an Instagram Live
video last week, added that the political class has looted the country and thus
the economy would have collapsed if not for “Yahoo Boys” who make money “go
round” in Nigeria.
He said: “All you guys, all the money in your pockets, all
the money you spend, you think it’s the government that is making the money go
round?” he asked.
