The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said that it
will arraign musician, Afeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, anytime
from now.
The singer was arrested last Friday by the EFCC in connection
with alleged Internet fraud and money laundering.
The EFCC’s acting Head, Media and Publicity, Tony Orilade, in an
interview with our correspondent, confirmed that the commission had
received the order to detain Naira Marley.
Asked how long the musician would be detained, Orilade simply
said, “He will be charged to court. As soon as we have a clear
date, I will let you know.”
However, a source at the magistrate court told The Punch that an
order to keep a suspect in custody could take either seven, 10 or
14 days.
The EFCC had arrested the singer based on “intelligence report”
along with another artiste , Temidayo Omoniyi (aka Zlatan), and
three other suspects, Tiamiu Abdulrahman, Adewunmi Adeyanju and
Musa Abubakar, following an early morning raid at 9, Gbangbola
Street, Ikate, Lekki, Lagos.
