Meanwhile, Twitter users have called on the Federal government to apologize to Nollywood actress Funke Akindele Bello.
This is because at the Gudu Cemetery Abuja where the Burial took place, people trooped out in numbers to witness the event.
Recall that actress Funke Akindele-Bello was arrested for hosting a party of more than twenty persons at her residence.
She and her husband, JJ Skillz were quickly arraigned before court and slapped with a fine of N100,000 each and community service duty.
Worthy to note is that there was no evidence of social distancing at Kyari’s burial. Attendees stood in close range as they paid their last respect.
See reactions below:
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.
