The Nigerian Navy has said, its personnel, OSCOMP Abdulgafar Ahmad, best known as Cute Abiola, is serving a one-month ‘extra duty’ for wearing police uniform in one of his skits videos and for ridiculing the Nigeria Police Force in the process.
Naval spokesperson, Commodore Suleman Dahun, said this on Friday while fielding questions from newsmen at the Defence Headquarters Interdenominational thanksgiving service of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
The naval spokesman said that Ahmad was given a light punishment of a ‘one-month extra duty’ after a military trial.
Dahun said, “On Cute Abiola case, he is no longer under detention. He has been released to move around to serve his punishment. He has been placed on one-month extra duty after he was tried by our military disciplinary panel. He will be in charge of cleanship; supervising painting, electricians, carpentry, cutting of grasses, and others.
“Because he was detained on November 15, that one month will start counting from then, which means he is going to be engaged till December 15 then he would be allowed to return home to his family. By then, he will be off the extra duty.”
SpyeNews reports that, the popular Instagram comedian was arrested on November 15, 2021, but has been released from detention to serve his ‘light corrective punishment’ in the cantonment.
