The Nigeria Police Force has condemned the contemptuous skits of a popular comedian, Abdulgafar Abiola, popularly known as Cute Abiola.
The condemnation followed Abiola’s recent skits in the police uniform.
“In as much as the law grants Nigerians the right to enjoy their fundamental human rights, the same law prohibits an individual, under whatever guise, from rubbishing the police institution or grossly violating its provisions with regards to the use of uniforms,” NPF said in a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi on Thursday July 27, 2023.
According to the statement, the skits in question show a highly disrespectful and derogatory portrayal of the police uniform, an action that is in direct violation of Section 251 of the Criminal Code and Section 133 of the Penal Code Law.

It maintained that “such acts are not only offensive but also undermine the integrity and dignity of the men and women who wear the uniform in service to the nation.”
It added, “We, therefore, vehemently condemn the contemptuous act displayed by comedian Abdulgafar Abiola, popularly known as “Cute Abiola,” in two recent skits posted on his social media handles on 20th and 24th July, 2023.”

It continued, “Abdulgafar Abiola will be investigated and possibly prosecuted for his deliberate acts as the NPF had already warned skit makers and filmmakers to desist from desecrating its uniform or accoutrements.
“The Force is committed to upholding the sanctity of the uniform and will pursue due legal process to ensure accountability for any individual or entity that seeks to bring disrepute to the uniform or the institution it represents.
