Tolibian, a member of popular Nigeria skit makers Ahmed Gafar, popularly known as Cute Abiola, has pleaded with Nigerians to pray for the comedian.
The comedian was arrested over a week ago by the Nigerian Navy.
A statement by the Director of Information, Navy Headquarters, Cdre Suleman Dahun, disclosed Cute Abiola was taken into custody for violating and breaching Armed Forces of Nigeria social media policy.
The statement also disclosed that personnel were not allowed to post their pictures or those of their colleagues in military uniform or images containing military structures.
A week after the news made headlines on several media platforms, Cute Abiola is yet to regain his freedom and fans and friends have expressed concern over the issue.
In a post shared on Instagram, Tolibian urged fans and followers of the comedian to put him in prayers.
The post reads:
“As you’re making your prayers Today, kindly help me Put him in your prayers too. God bless you.”
