Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has been in the news after throwing a party for her husband over the weekend amidst the order of social distancing. The actress has been called out by so many Nigerians on social media which eventually led to her arrest.
It seems to many that the actress may undergo a slight punishment for her crime. According to her, everyone who attended the party has been with her in the estate where she resides for up to a month and that presumes she is sure of their negative Covid-19 status. Funke however according to some did not flaunt order by throwing a party but by gathering over 20 people together which is against the law in Lagos State at the moment as Lagos is the hotspot of the virus in the country presently.
According to NCDC, anyone who flaunts the rule of not practicing social distancing as seen in the case of Funke Akindele, is left with three options; fine of hundred thousand naira, community service and a short term prosecution. In the case of an elite like Funke, and some other celebrities involved including her husband and Naira Marley, the fine option may just be their way of pushing the case under the carpet.
