The Nigerian Navy has disclosed that popular Instagram skit maker Ahmed Gafar Oluwatoyin, known as Cute Abiola, was not missing but locked up in his unit for breaching the Armed Forces social media policy.
The skit maker, who is also a Naval officer, was declared missing on Monday, November 15.
One of his colleagues, Debo Adebayo, otherwise known as Mr Macaroni, took to his official Twitter account to raise alarm about his missing colleague.
Sharing the news, he attached a WhatsApp message he received stating that the Nigerian Navy ordered the detention of the skit maker for reasons yet to be disclosed.
However, Nigerian Navy said the comedian broke their media policy while he was on leave, and he was recalled.
Asked to come back, but he refused until he completed his leave which is a disobedience to particular orders.
“The young man was found to have breached the social media policy while he was on leave. So he was recalled, asked to come back, but he refused until he completed his leave which is a disobedience to particular orders,” the spokesperson for the navy, Commodore Suleman Dahun, said in a statement.
“He was not missing but locked up in his unit for breaching the Armed Forces social media policy. So, when he came back, we took him into custody for him to face the consequence.”
