CONCERNING FUNKE AKINDELE’S PARTY, NAIRA MARLEY WRITES AN OPEN LETTER TO LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT


The rapper was arrested and charged to court for violating the social distancing directive of the Lagos State Government which was given to curb the spread of coronavirus.
On Wednesday, April, the 25-year-old appeared before Magistrate Court of Lagos in Ogba where all the charges against him were dropped on the condition that he writes an apology letter addressed to the Lagos State Government and agree to self-isolate in his home for 14 days. 
Although the charges against the rapper had been withdrawn, the rapper wrote an apology letter to the Lagos State Government.

In his apology letter, Marley agreed to the conditions saying; “that I agree to be in self-isolation in my house at the above address for a period of 14 days from today, Thursday, 9th April 2020 and that the Lagos State Ministry of Health should supervise my isolation.”


Former Lagos State Governorship candidate Babatunde Gbadamosi also apologised to the Lagos State Government with a written letter after his charges were withdrawn.
It was not the same for Akindele and her husband JJC Skillz who were also arrested and charged to court.
For their part in hosting the party, the couple was sentenced to 14 days of community service and fined N200, 000 each.
