The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has revealed that the reason behind Naira Marley's arrest is because of his involvement in advance fee scam and other related cyber crimes.

The acting EFCC spokesperson, Mr Tony Orilade, in an interview with Premium Times, 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.”
