Skit maker, Abdulgafar Abiola popularly known as Cute Abiola, on Wednesday, marked one year of his arrest and detention by the Navy for flouting the social media rules of the Force.
Cute Abiola, in 2021 was detained without the knowledge of his family or friends, save for a live video a friend of his shared online with Abiola facing rigorous interrogations by Naval officers, which caused his wife to raise an alarm on social media about his whereabouts.
Reminiscing his ordeal in a post on Facebook, he said, “Today being 16th November 2022 makes it exactly one year I was arrested and detained by the Nigerian Navy for violating the Force Social Media Regulation, by posting my pictures on social media while on uniform.
“I recalled this voyage with longing memories and I agreed that the torments of those times were efforts by the Navy to prepare me for the numerous tasks ahead.
“Now, the lessons learnt and experience gathered are propelling me towards actualizing my dreams. It’s really a moment to remember.”
Earlier in November, Cute Abiola had been appointed Senior Special Assistant to the Kwara State governor on creative industries.
