The singer who was apprehended on Friday, May 10th, was said to have been in connection with alleged Internet fraud and money laundering. Contrary to the reports that he had been released, the commission’s acting Head, Media and Publicity, Tony Orilade, in an interview with the press confirmed that there had been order to detain Naira Marley.
