The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have vehemently deny the alleged release of Naira Marley, who was arraigned for an 11 count fraud charge on Monday, May 20, 2019.
In a now gone viral video on social media, the singer is seen entering a private car with his friend in view, out of a yet to be identified location. The video which was released on Monday, May 20, 2019, shows a visibly excited Naira Marley been celebrated by his friends and fans.
The EFCC released press statement debunking the claims that Naira Marley had been released. In an interview with Sahara Reporters, the anti-graft agency says the video is mere propaganda by friends of the musician who are desperate to launder his image.
Naira Marley was arraigned before a Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday, May 20, 2019, where he was charged with an 11 count charge. He, however, plead not guilty to all charges. He was then ordered to remain in prison custody.
