According to Abiola’s wife, the comedian who is also a naval officer went missing after reporting at his office in Navy Town, Lagos, on that day.
However, reports of the comedian missing were quashed by a statement from the Navy, which announced that Abiola was detained for contravening the military laws.
Dahun said Abiola posted a video of himself in military uniform on social media, which is a violation of the armed forces’ social media policy.
The comedian also failed to report to the office when he was called to explain himself.
Dahun stressed that Ahmad knowingly violated the armed forces’ social media policy but was given a light punishment of a “one-month extra duty” when he was tried for misconduct and indiscipline.
He further revealed that Abiola is no longer in naval detention as he has been released to serve his punishment.
