Mzbel claimed that Fire Oja was later released by the police on bail and that further developments in the case would become public.
She noted that she was not spreading lies about the prophet's arrest amid ongoing debates on social media.
Mzbel also explained the reason behind her decision to take action against Fire Oja and expressed interest in addressing the issues in interviews with bloggers and the media.

Why was Fire Oja allegedly arrested?
Mzbel and Fire Oja's issue stemmed from the prophet's allegations that the singer experienced some severe health issues and was admitted to the hospital for medical treatment after visiting spiritualist Ola Maame's place for her "soul travel" in 2025.
He also platformed a young lady who claimed to be the singer's former personal assistant, who corroborated his allegations.
The prophet also accused the 16 Years hitmaker of conspiring with Ola Maame to defraud unsuspecting women at her place in Kasoa.
The veteran musician denied Fire Oja's claims and called on individuals disseminating the allegations to present their evidence to prove that she had a bad experience with the shaman.
Mzbel subsequently petitioned the Ghana Police Service over the prophet's serious allegations.
