LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has appointed famous skit maker, Abdulgafar Ahmed Abiola, popularly known as “Cute Abiola” as Special Assistant on Creative Industries.
Abiola is a former Navy officer who reportedly resigned to concentrate on his comic business.
Born on 28 April, 1996 in Ilorin, Kwara State, the new appointee has made a name for himself in the fast growing skit industry and is quite famous for his persona as Lawyer Kunle in most of his comedy skits.
Cute Abiola resigned from the Nigerian Navy (NN) following series of arrests and detentions over alleged breach of service rules.
Sometime last year, reports emerged that the comic had been kidnapped by some unknown elements with his colleagues and other influential Nigerians pleading for his release.
However, the Nigerian Navy, via a statement by the then spokesman for Navy Headquarters, Suleman Dahun, confirmed that Cute Abiola was being detained in its custody for breaching Armed Forces Social Media Policy.
He was later released and reportedly had to resign to concentrate on his comic business.
Also appointed by AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, is Mr. Jerry Kolo as Senior Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations and Ogundele Joseph Olabisi as Special Assistant on Community Engagement
Mr. Kolo, an indigene of Patigi local government area, was until his appointment the chairman of the Kwara North Development Council (KWANDCO).
