The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has confirmed the arrest of popular singer, Afeez Fashola, otherwise known as Naira Marley, and others in relation to alleged advance fee scam and related cyber crimes.

Naira Marley, known for his single ‘Issa Goal,’ recently came under fire by renowned rapper, Ruggedman, for promoting Internet fraud in his music.
The acting EFCC spokesperson, Mr Tony Orilade, in an interview with our correspondent, said, “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.” A video featuring Ruggedman has gone viral this week in which the rapper called out Naira Marley for advocating Internet fraud. The artiste noted that the promotion of such cyber crimes impacted negatively on Nigerians abroad.

However, Naira Marley, whose recent song is titled ‘Am I A Yahoo Boy,’ responded by mocking Ruggedman in an Instagram video and defended his artistic choices.

Please investigate very well and if he is guilty, then punish him


We are tired of celebrating depravity and crime.. it has done the world a great deal of harm...


To do justice to him will be commendable but it will be more commendable not to stop there...


Further visit the lives, history and accounts of politicians and people in power... whoever is found wanting or guilty of crime should be punished accordingly.


We are also tired of having the worst of people, thieves and criminals in power...


If you can do all these, it will go a long way in improving Nigeria

A thief and someone who support his stealing are all the same.

This naira Marley should be sentenced and spare the society of his nuisance, shallow useless music that adds nothing meaningful to Nigerian youths.

Mumu naira maley

Him no sabi person wey be person but him still dey run mouth.

high time

delugajackson:
Let him rot there in custody. We are tired of their nonsense. How can a sane human being support criminals if he isn't one? And then you read some comments on Nairaland and you just feel like shooting the poster. They attack you for speaking up against these devils. They tell you to "go and hustle your own", and if the EFCC arrests them you hear "they witch-hunt boys", "they should go after politicians." What a shameless generation!

If I become president of this country, I will place a bounty on all internet fraudsters and their sympathisers, round them up and kill them by firing squad. Same goes to any public office holder found guilty of stealing public funds.

Excuse you... How many people do you think will be left ? You're a fool... Corruption is everywhere, even Efcc are corrupted..do you think they accept thousands as bribe? They make millions everyday , same thing as SARS..lets look into some police officers lifestyles, do you think they also live off their salaries? Those bastard harassing and killing people portray good image of Nigeria securities in other countries ? .i don't think you any idea how people are suffering..do you think everyone depends on the government to rescue them.. How much are you getting from this government every month? .. How much are you earning per month? Tell me one thing you're benefiting from this present government, even the past? All those Malls who buy stuffs there, salary earner? You Don pay your tax this month? .. My brother goansitdown somewhere

Let me reply this one cos you sounded vaguely normal. I so loathe our politicians and leaders because of their uselessly high level of corruption. They should all be torpedoed to hell.

But doesn't mean you should fight evil with evil. Only thing you are doing is spoiling the country more. Those that have started up and are making it through legit means do not have two heads na. As you decide to make it through not so legit means, what's now the difference between you and the politicians? Frankly, that's not how to man up.

It's that chop I chop mentality that finished Nigeria to this stage. If you think you are a man through Internet fraud, why can't you walk into a corporate organisation and introduce yourself as a yahoo boy? Even the Naira Marley himself is shouting "I'm not a yahoo boy"

Abeg don't try to justify it. It's wrong. Leave trash for lawma.
