In breach of the law of social distancing to curb the spread of coronavirus, actress Funke Akindele and husband Abdulrasheed Bello has pleaded guilty for defiling order and holding a house party.
The actress Funke Akindele Bello organised a house party over the weekend in celebration of her husband’s birthday which sparked outrage on social media and led to the government arresting them.
The duo pleaded guilty to a one-count charge of hosting a gathering of 20 persons and over, contrary to the social distancing directives of the Lagos State Government.
The actress and her husband were arraigned on Monday at the Samuel Ilori Courthouse of the Magistrate Court in Ogba, Lagos. The charge against them is made pursuant to Regulation 8(1a &b) and S 17(1) of the State’s Infectious Disease Regulation 2020.
According to the regulation, anyone found guilty is liable to one-month imprisonment or N100,000.
After taking their plea, Magistrate Aje-Afunwa stood the matter down for 30 minutes and went into her chamber.
