The officer was arrested around 7pm on Wednesday, April, 29, 2020 in Lagos and is currently being held at a Naval facility in Apapa.
According to our source, he was arrested because his action isn’t expected of an officer and it may be deemed punishable with a very lengthy detention or dismissal from service.
The insider said CuteAbiola got in trouble after one of his overzealous fans made a video collage of his birthday pictures just to celebrate him. The video, however, went viral on WhatsApp and ended up with the Naval hierarchy.
