Online Comedian, Abdulgafar Ahmad, aka Cute Abiola, has been freed from detention by the NIgerian Navy, The PUNCH reports.
Naval spokesperson, Commodore Suleman Dahun, confirmed the development to our correspondent on Friday.
Cute Abiola was said to have been missing on Monday, November 15, 2021, when his colleague in the comedy industry, Debo Adedayo aka Mr Macaroni, raised the alarm that he was nowhere to be found after reporting at his office in Navy Town, Lagos, that same day.
Two days after the alarm was raised, Dahun had announced that the funnyman wasn’t missing but was detained for contravening the military laws by posting a video of himself in military uniform on social media, an act which is said to be in violation of the armed forces’ social media policy.
