Two days after their arrest, Naira Marley, Zlatan remain in EFCC detention -

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said the two upcoming artists, Afeez Fashola (aka Naira Marley) and Temidayo Omoniyi (aka Zlatan), who were apprehended on Friday morning are still in its custody.

The EFCC’s acting Head, Media and Publicity, Tony Orilade, who confirmed this, said, They are still with us as we are talking.”

Recall that the EFCC had arrested the singers based on “intelligence report” as parts of its activities to rid the country of internet fraudsters.

The commission said the artistes were apprehended along with three other suspects, Tiamiu Abdulrahman, Adewunmi Adeyanju and Musa Abubakar, following an early morning raid at 9, Gbangbola Street, Ikate, Lekki, Lagos.

“At the point of arrest, the commission recovered a number of items, including laptops from the suspects. They have so far volunteered information about their involvement in the alleged criminal activities, even as investigations continue,” said a statement by the agency.

Naira Marley last week released a song titled ‘Am I a Yahoo Boy?’, which led to heated controversy on social media.
