Ubani Zion aka ZFancy, a prominent Nigerian prankster and social media influencer, has been detained.
He was apprehended by operatives from the Nigeria Police Force National Centre for Cyber Crimes.
According to reports, the prankster was arrested about 11 a.m. on Wednesday in Abuja.
A top center source told Punch that the prankster was arrested in connection with one of his pranks.
The official continued: “Zfancy, the popular prankster, had just been arrested by our men a while ago.”

“This Zfancy matter is looking very real. The Nigeria Police should intervene at this point,” Adenuga said.
In the video, the woman who identified herself as Kokina accused the prankster of being involved in ritualism while searching for her missing friend.
