The Nigerian Navy spokesperson, Suleiman Dahun, had although clarified that The Cute Abiola is in naval custody and that he violated the Armed Forces Social Media Policy.

Dahun stated that the policy specifies the dos and don’ts of personnel as well as salient regulations with regards to their usage of social media on issues of official concerns.
