Nigerians have taken to social media to demand justice for Funke Akindele, who was punished by the Lagos State Government for throwing a house party during the lock down.
Funke and her husband JJC were arrested, fined and then sentenced to community service–a judgement which many Nigerians praised. But now, folks feel she was unjustly treated, and this is because of the televised burial of the later Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, who passed away yesterday following coronavirus complications.
See the tweets:
I'm watching late Abba Kyari's burial, live on TV.

If we do not use the same energy that we used on Funke Akindele to change it for the government as regards to this burial, then we owe her an apology. And that means Burna Boy was right, so we also owe him an apology.

Funke akindele had her birthday party and was prosecuted for social gathering. I can see the notherners and politicians gathering together like iced fish inside a carton for the burial of Abba Kyari. If nobody can prosecute you, Covid-19 will.

If only the @PoliceNG and @NCDCgov will apply the same energy they used in arresting Funke Akindele here.
