Due to the breakout of the virus, the federal government banned the gathering of more than 20 people in the same space and also restricted movement in some parts of the country.

However, yesterday, Funke Akindele and husband, JJC Skillz, threw a birthday party with lots of people in attendance.

She later made a video to apologise, this was before the Police Force arrested her for violating rules that were in place.

Below are some reactions to this news:

Funke Akindele has been arrested. I really do feel for her because she could be made an example by the new regulations; the Lagos Infection Diseases Regulations 2020. One month jail term or N100k. I hope she gets the community service end instead, without a record.

Now that Funke Akindele has been arrested, those of you that were defending her can take food to her in her cell.

I’m sure by now those defending Funke Akindele should be on their way to the Police Station to protest.

Funke Akindele’s “face lift” arrest by the LASG is the smartest way to correct the impression she made yesterday by organizing the party.

A corrective message to the people, that if you contravene the stay-at-home order, there will be consequences.

Na JJC do birthday.

Men will embarrass you.

By the way, the Lagos State Police Command has said that they are looking for others in that viral video with Funke Akindele.

So incase you have access to Naira Marley and crew, please kindly notify them that Lagos Police Force will like to have a little face to face chat.

The Lagos State Police has now arrested Funke Akindele.

This arrest is a very proper and appropriate step to take.

This would send a strong message out to everyone out there that:
1. Nobody is above the law. Nobody.
2. The govt is very serious about the virus and the lockdown.
