Nollywood actress and producer, Funke Akindele, is to be charged to court in Lagos, following a violation of the restriction orders in the state as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos, Bala Elkana, had confirmed the Nollywood star’s arrest on Sunday, noting that it was predicated on a viral video showing a large number of persons mainly in the entertainment industry partying at a certain location. The command’s spokesman revealed that police detectives from the State Criminal Investigation Department , Yaba were promptly drafted to the location where the actress was arrested.
He asked the duo to report at the State CID Yaba on Monday in their interest or risk being declared wanted.
rozirozay please you guys should stop tweeting this because the issue doesn't have legal backing
This thing is simple, we agree that she’s guilty of the offence. The question is this; what is the provision of the law as regard her offence? Then let the court act upon the provisions of the law. Case closed... why r we taking it this far?
This is not a good time to charge peole to court. Every country warn their citizens of an offense pardonable in the law. This is not a crime and we urge jidesanwoolu to forgive them as a first timer. we understsnd they re celebrities whom re to teach people to respect the law.
This will be very appreciated. Otherwise this mumubrity will feel she is anything for something. Nonsense

Hhmm, Scapegoated.
They killed no1 so government should fuck off🧐
UzoegboF please let the government temper justice with mercy.
She has been stripped of her ambassador title and arrested; I think that's punishment enough. I believe she has learnt her lesson, why charging her to court? Many celebrities including the so-called politicians have violated the lockdown rules but weren't prosecuted; wickedness.
They were both wrong to have thrown that party .. her husband is JJC Skillz , he's celebrated daily . Wetin be birthday wey Dem come do na . I feel sad about this 💔.
Aunty funke, why now? It is stay at home not stay in your estate for God's sake. Perhaps, Jennifer's English is beginning to work otherwise on you sister!😂😂🤣
The law is the law..it doesn't matter whom the axe may gore..📣
Thumbs up...these are laws Nigerians can not break in UK, US... But when they come in here they become lawless...
She don enter this one first, abeg make law enforcement forgive funkeakindele oo🙏
Clowns.... Why not arrest Abba kyari as well once he's out of d hospital... Bcos he brought ds whole shit on Nigeria.
Better
He she d only one dat go against d rules. I think it bcoz of whom she his in d industry dat is y d story to dis...come to my area in ogun state, some bars are still opening.. Bill her ND let pay den she go... Simple
Ghen ghen
For me it's not the party but the unfortunate fact that if any of the particiipants should test positive to covid 19 then that put lives of other participants at risk and every other person each participant will later encounter. Very sad possible consequence of that singular act
Wait is there another matter to this thing or what exactly, people are out there doing worse things than this but this is what we're focusing on, Nigeria is shitty
I am a fan of Funke Akindele funkeakindele but this one, Noo is Goodwill taken too far. But then nobody is above mistake and she might have realised it too late. I am sure she has learn her lessons and would never forget this in a hurry. .
She'll probably just get a small fine and a slap on the wrist. But it's a step in the right direction, people should be held accountable for their actions regardless of their societal position. We still have a long way to go tho.
And to hear morayo moakabash yoirviewtvc this morning based on some frivolous excuse of her being responsible for many workers and less privilege she has had to feed daily is even more disappointing.
Hmm
toluogunlesi Some it's Good for you to practice what you preach. she has failed in that aspect
Stop deceiving yourself, we all know how it’s gonna end.
Is only in nigeria that you will see an educated person that doesnt understand what lockdown means....hmmmm
They should pay the fine but more importantly everyone at that party should be tested and quarantined if positive. But to say the fact Funke Akindele really disappointed most of her fans
toluogunlesi All I see here is Just pay Nigerian police 200k then you can throw a party 😂😂😂
The regulation said a 1-month prison term for the defaulters or 100,000k. Make she go choose one make I rest jhare
Is it that serious ?
Let Him pay fine and go. Putting him in jail will further compound the health hazard presently being experienced by inmates
All those celebrity nonsense will clear from her head now.
NaijaFlyingDr They should have just kept it to them selves 😔😔
NaijaFlyingDr Knock Knock! Who’s there? Escape! Escape who?! A Scape Goat!
Lol. Sorry but come!! What's wrong with someone having fun in her house? Is it not still lockdown 😪😪
The fine of 100,000 or 200,000 is like a peanut for funke akindele. paying the money is like settling the govt jidesanwoolu ,What is another judgement for the rich
Needless show off results
She thought if she give a public apology that it ends there , just apply wisdom in everything you do
Oh my GOD ,I believe it's a mistake that can be forgiven
See as people take their money buy trouble.... na waoooh🤔🤔🤔
toluogunlesi No!!! I just can't believe this..how on earth do you think on peoples behave after all you entrusted her with a post..FUCK THE GOV.THE SYSTEM IS CORRUPT ...
What about oshomole,have you not seen the video of his own party. Evil law,evil leader's,stupid masses,backward country.
Nobody is above the law
What's so special about birthday celebration party that u will have to go this mile just for it? Shebi una get plenty money to Parry? Carry una cross.
Nt that serious
For what? Is there a law for sit at home and social distancing? Abeg! Fine them but all this charging to court is useless. Make them get lawyer to stand for them. Which kind Yeye intimidation be this? 😠
Now this is to prove to silly people that this virus is no scam.
But why is the man hiding kwanu

Hmmm
Whare is Naira Marley

Thank God she knows how to act in court. Jennifer can diary this
Up next naira... Dat one Neva learnt his lesson
Good enough. Time to take responsibility is now if we must move forward
See ooo
Tinubu did the same thing, bullion van during election and nobody charged him to court. We all doing shitt, if them that see themselves as a leader cannot respect the law so who the fuck is funke that you wanna force to abide the law
Also be charged for breaking his 'vow'. Running and leaving his wife at the time when the police came calling.
Which court session will hold during this pandemic. All that one na story
Some persons don't practice what they preach. Funke is smarter than this. Its so unfortunate.
I'm minding business in the Lockdown. Please patronise me 07019221196
Audio court ..
Scapegoat or is it Audio?
I think the video shouldn't have been online, they shot themselves in the leg by doing a Live video of the party. they will have done it quietly and save themselves dis public embarrassment.
But did I see husband to be?
They are lucky... If its in other European countries they will pay dearly.
Hmmm....charged to court. Well, I can't say the government is taking her issue too far, but she shouldn't have held the party knowing there's a lockdown order. The party could have waited for later☹️☹️☹️
Twitter NG this one is in the bag
Jennifer deserve a second chance.
Right thing to do
Nobody is above the law
b_oyaz Okay now they're taking this too fucking far. Yes she's wrong, but not to be doing the most by taking her to court
See how you guys messed up big time. It wouldn't have been this messy, if she wasn't NCDC Ambassador, she knew the rules yet broke it on sheer stupidity. We are all humans we learn everyday, she has learnt hers with a public shame. I still like you, get wiser in future.
It is what the whole platforms have been encouraging, especially sunrisedailynow and CTVpolitics, I just posted what chamberlainusoh Makindeayo and KayodeOkikiolu were saying this morning that Nigerians can’t stay at home because they are”hungry”
This is Good, as a symbol of rule of law.
Twitter people, see wetin Una cause o.
That's absolutely the right thing to do. You flouts the law, you pay the price. What nonsense! Cant the birthday party wait till after the lockdown?
She couldn't do what she was advertising. So disgraceful. She shouldn't teach about Convid 19 again..
I have the video.
Good for them mtcheew
Serves her right Who the hell is she to violate such order?
Birthday man to be charge to court. Social media is not your friend thread softly
Shit just got real
Aunty son enter yahwa oh🙄🙄🙄🙄
New series Funke and NCDC
But she was very sori for violating the law.
Lesson. Be a leader by GOOD examples
Scape goat
Other politicians that partied why haven't you arrested them... Nigeria is a zoo
Wowza!!!
For what if is a politician will he be charge to court in as much I don't buy the idea of citizens to violet law but he should be caution not every matter is taking to court like in abroad there is an offence you will be served paper to pay a certain fine
She deserves it, this someone I have been seen talking and advertising abt social distance, now she the hold party, we are too playful in this country, even if u don't care abt your life fear for others, God we help her,
Nawa ooo
Chai
Punishment things anybody that breaks the rule whether government or citizens should be punished
