“We shall be releasing a detailed statement on the arrest. For now, what I can tell you now is he is with us”

Marley, some days ago, called on Nigerians to pray for Yahoo boys rather than condemn them.

In a viral video, he said Yahoo boys are the reason why money circulates to the common man.

“MARLIAN !! Freee bro!!!! Nothing spoil!! I got u!!!”, he posted.

Nigeria Police PRO  Zone 2, Dolapo Badmus in her reaction,  mocked the artiste, says  “The only authentic NAIRA I know is Nigeria’s legal tender. Any other naira attached to something is a counterfeit!”, she wrote.
