Popular Nollywood Actress Funke Akindele Bello has pleaded guilty to charges of violating the lockdown order by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The actress and her husband were arraigned this morning Monday, 6th April, 2020 at an Ogba Magistrate Court in Lagos State.
This is coming after she hosted a birthday party for her husband, Abdulrasheed Bello popularly called JJC Skillz, over the weekend.
According to the Lagos Infection Diseases Regulations 2020, anyone who flouts the lockdown rule or is found guilty of hosting gatherings is subject to a jail term of one month or N100,000 fine.
The Regulation, in part, reads: “Where there is a violation of a closedown or stay-at-home order, security agencies shall have the power to arrest without warrant and may detain any person, who violates the closedown or stay-at-home order, for at least 48 hours."
