A statement by the Director of Information, Navy Headquarters, Commodore Suleman Dahun, said Cute Abiola was taken into custody for violating and breaching Armed Forces of Nigeria social media policy.
According to the statement, Navy personnel are not allowed to post pictures of themselves or of their colleagues in military uniform.
”The young man was found to have breached the social media policy while he was on leave. So he was recalled, asked to come back, but he refused until he completed his leave which is a disobedience to particular orders”.
The Armed Forces Act 2017 provides guidelines on social media use to curb undignified use of social media by members of the Armed Forces, especially acts that could render them susceptible to enemies’ trap or jeopardise ongoing military operations.
“Personnel should not post their pictures or those of their colleagues in military uniforms, or pictures containing military structures, platforms and other military related items.”
