Naira Marley finally released from prison
Nigerian musician, Azeez Fashola, famously known as Naira Marley, has been released from prison custody.
Naira Marley, who was arrested and charged to court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on an 11 count charge of advance fee fraud, was released on Friday after perfecting his bail condition.Alongside a picture of Naira Marley, she wrote, “So, today that I decided to visit, we walked out together as a free man.”
DAILY POST had reported that the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi on May 30 granted bail to the singer. At the resumed bail application, the singer’s lead defence counsel, Olalekan Ojo, apologised for his absence at the initial arraignment on May 20. Ojo urged the court to accept the bail application prima facie based on the presumption of his innocence in accordance with Section 162 .The prosecution counsel, led by Rotimi Oyedepo, however argued that it is not the temporary release of the singer that mattered but the final judgment.Oyedepo added that since the lawyer of the defendant said the defendant is a celebrity, then his actions and in-actions have a multiplier effect on youths in the entire federation.
