Funke Akindele punished unjustly, Nigerians react to gathering at Abba Kyari’s burial

April 18, 2020

Nigerians have described the punishment given to actress, Funke Akindele, and her husband, JJC Skillz, as unjust, following the gathering at the burial of the Chief of Staff of the President, Abba Kyari, in Abuja.

Funke and her husband, JJC Skillz, were on April 7 found guilty of violating the coronavirus-induced lockdown order by hosting a birthday party at their Lagos home.

They were sentenced to 14 days of community service and ordered to pay a fine of N100,000 each.

Despite the Presidency saying Kyari’s burial would be a private occasion, several persons attended the internment on Saturday at Gudu Cemetry in Abuja and also disregarded the social distancing rule.

Funke akindele had her birthday party and was prosecuted for social gathering. I can see the notherners and politicians gathering together like iced fish inside a carton for the burial of Abba Kyari. If nobody can prosecute you, Covid-19 will.

Funke Akindele was arrested and arraigned for throwing a party in her house. Some politicians decided to organise a prayer session, hereby breaching the Presidential order & @NCDCgov guideline on social distancing, but no action will be taken because ‘proximity to power?’ 😭😭😭
