The Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello has again vowed to prosecute the musician, Naira Marley and all those involved in violating the Covid-19 guidelines.
The minister who disclosed this in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Anthony Ogunleye said,
The Administration had earlier on Sunday prosecuted the organisers and asked the Lagos State Government to deal with the musician.
The Administration was also mandated by the court to seal up the Jabi Lake Mall for violating the Presidential Task Force’s directives on the ban on public gatherings.
Apart from violating the rules of social distancing and use of face masks in public places, the concert breached the 10pm to 4am curfew in the territory.
In condemning the concert, the Minister lamented that there is a very real possibility that a positive individual at that event could by now have gone ahead to cross-infect several others thereby leading to a possible exponential spread.
He said;
“Adherence to the guidelines could be the difference between life and death. This, therefore, begs the question; whether that concert or party which is clearly against the law is worth the health or life of a citizen. Clearly, no concert or party is worth the life of anyone”.
