Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released musician, Omoniyi Raphael, popularly known as Zlatan, and three others.

Afeez Fashola, known as Naira Marley, is, however, still being held in EFCC custody.

Zlatan and the others who happened to be his crew members were released Tuesday night.

They are Tiamiu Kayode, Adewunmi Moses and Abubakar Musa.

They were all arrested last Friday and quizzed over internet fraud known locally as ‘yahoo yahoo’.

EFCC spokesman, Tony Orilade, said Zlatan and the others were released on administrative bail.

“There is overwhelming evidence against Naira Marley; so we can’t afford to release him on administrative bail like Zlatan and the three others.

“That Zlatan has been released does not mean they have been discharged and acquitted. Naira Marley is still in our custody and will be charged to court soon and we will make the charges known in an official statement soon,” Mr Orilade said.
