PETALING JAYA: Police will detain popular Kelantan singer Eda Ezrin, whose real name is Wan Norshaheeda Azlin Wan Ismail, 30, her husband, and four other as soon as they enter Rantau Panjang, Kelantan on Thursday (Aug 7) afternoon.
Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the individuals will be held for questioning purposes, reported Sinar Harian.
"We have already deployed officers for this action.
"However, two of the six individuals who entered Thailand illegally will be arrested under Section 5 (2) of the Immigration Act 1958/63," he said when contacted by reporters on Thursday.
The two individuals are Eridieka Mohd Noor, 33, and Zuhaira Nasrin, 26.
Eda Ezrin, her husband, Mohd Affendi Ahmad, 35, along with Mohamad Alif Deraman, 33, and Nur Aida Mamat, 33, will be detained for the purpose of recording statements.
Previously, Sinar Harian reported that Eda Ezrin, along with her husband and four friends, were expected to arrive at the Sungai Golok police station here this afternoon.
However, all of them must first go to the police station and then to the Golok Immigration Detention Depot for documentation before being allowed to return to Kelantan.
According to the Director of the Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID), Datuk Hussein Omar Khan, the action will be carried out by NCID Kelantan.
All individuals will have their statements recorded, and urine samples will also be taken for screening.
Earlier, Eda Ezrin, her husband, and four friends were released from custody at the Narathiwat Provincial Central Prison on Wednesday.
Their release was made after the court rejected the prosecutor's application to extend the appeal period for the sixth time on Wednesday.
The six accused were previously sentenced to six months in jail and fined RM526 (4,000 Thai baht) after pleading guilty to another charge of consuming the Yaba pills.
