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.
