Nigerians have taken to their social media platform to demand that the government apologise to Funke Akindele after crowd is seen at Abba Kyari’s burial.
Funke Akindele was fined for throwing a house party to celebrate her husband, JJC Skillz 42nd birthday with over 20 people in attendance, despite the lockdown in Lagos state.
Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari who died earlier today was laid to rest and in attendance were a crowd of over 20 persons gathered to witness the event even though it was reportedly a private burial.
Nigerians have now called out the government for not enforcing social distancing during the burial ceremony and demanding that the fate of those in attendance should be thesame as that of Funke Akindele, her husband JJC Skillz and others who attended the birthday party.
See some posts as seen on twitter below.
This is how people gathered to Bury a COVID-19 infected body today in Abuja. Funke Akindele didn’t do up to this one before she and her husband were charged to court. This is just a friendly reminder that Laws are made for the poor and the weak. Victory hand – @OndoFirstBorn

I’d like to use this opportunity to clearly state that Funke Akindele was a scapegoat. She only got punished because she wasn’t a politician.
The people who gathered at Abbah Kyari’s funeral should all be quarantined & punished. Look at these ones holding hands!
