Eda Ezrin, Aida Mamat return home after statements to police - Bukit Aman
The duo, with four others, were detained on November 1 last year for allegedly possessing 6,059 yaba pills.
KOTA BHARU - Police have confirmed that dikir barat singer Wan Norshaheeda Azlin Wan, better known as Eda Ezrin and another individual, Nur Aida Mamat, 33, completed giving their statements at the Rantau Panjang Police Station in Pasir Mas last night.
Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan, when contacted by Bernama today, said both individuals were allowed to return to their respective families.
When asked about the four other individuals still in Thailand and under investigation by authorities there, he said they may return home today if their passports are reactivated.
The four have been identified as Eridieka Mohd Noor, 33; Zuhaira Nasrin; Eda’s husband, Mohd Affendi Ahmad, 35; and Mohamad Alif Deraman, 33.
Yesterday, Eda and Nur Aida arrived at the Rantau Panjang Police Station at about 8pm and left around 11.15pm after completing the statement recording process.
Both women were later picked up by their respective family members, with Nur Aida leaving in a Honda HR-V at 11.30 pm and Eda departing in a Honda City Hatchback about 10 minutes later.
Earlier media reports said that the Narathiwat Prison Court in Thailand had released Eda, her husband, and four other individuals at about 11 am local time (noon Malaysian time) yesterday after prosecutors failed to produce witnesses and evidence to appeal a previous decision.
All six individuals were detained on Nov 1 last year for allegedly possessing 6,059 yaba pills. The court had also rejected the prosecution’s sixth request to extend the deadline for filing an appeal on Wednesday.
Yesterday, Eda and Nur Aida were brought out of Sungai Golok, Narathiwat in a Thai immigration van at around 7 pm after completing documentation procedures. - BERNAMA
