COVID-19: Funke Akindele now a convict – Lawyers react to court judgment

In her judgment, Mrs Aje Afunwa of the Magistrates’ Court ordered them to pay a fine of N100,000 each.

However, Barrister John Ochogwu while speaking with DAILY POST insisted that Akindele and her husband are now convicts going by the ruling of the Magistrates’ Court.He said: “Whether it was a Civil offence or not, she has been charged and convicted based on a Criminal Charge rightly or wrongly. As far as the Judgment and her Conviction stands, she is a convict. She could only appeal and set aside.

Edeh also stated that the actress and her husband could appeal the ruling on the ground that they were coaxed into pleading guilty. “In my opinion, she must have been told to go to court and plead guilty and that they will merely ask her to pay the fine. She actually did not understand the extent or implication of a conviction.”

Funke Akindele and family should be look upon with mercy, we are begging on their behalf

Just imagine. She better go on Appeal otherwise, she's finished.

She's guilty so go n sleep young woman

She is a graduate of law, she knows what it means before pleading guity. She was not coaxed in doing so I

Can funkeakindele proof that she is just a guest of a party hosted by her husband & not necessarily the host. I believe she just want the matter to die as soon as possible and she never thought about it thoroughly. A good lawyer might shift the blame on just one of them(hubby)

Her career at stake

Akindele,how market?

Once a convict, always a convict
