Brand influencer, Debo Adebayo, also known as Mr Macaroni, has given an update on the present issue of his colleague, Ahmed Gafar aka Cute Abiola, who was detained a week ago.
Recall that hours after the family of Cute Abiola cried out about the comedian missing, a statement was released by the Director of Information, Navy headquarters, saying the comedian is not missing but detained for violating the Armed Forces of Nigeria social media policy.
Updating about the welfare of his colleague, Mr Macaroni said he spoke with Cute Abiola’s wife and was informed that he is still in custody and access is only granted to his mother and wife.
Although he (Mr Macaroni) said he doesn’t need to reveal the details since it concerns the force, but the comedian is still locked up.
He said, “A lot of people have been asking me about Cute Abiola. I don’t have much information as only his Wife and Mother are allowed to see him.
“And I do not want to speak much on the matter so that my statement isn’t taken in bad faith. But last I checked he is still in custody.
“His wife told me personally that she and his mom are granted access to see him. The Nigerian Navy has said that he is in custody for breaching some codes and refusing to obey order.
“As a military officer, he is answerable to their command and under their jurisdiction.
“This isn’t a new thing in the Military. But as a public figure, Cute Abiola has millions of followers worldwide hence the reason for the consistent concern from his fans and friends.
“We can only continue to send our best wishes to him.”
