Nollywood Superstar, Funke Akindele-Bello and her husband JJ Skills are trending on twitter for the wrong reason as many of the app users called for the immediate arrest of both the actress and her husband.
The call followed a video that has went viral which showed a house party organized by the actress despite the sit at home order by President Muhammadu Buhari and the social distancing measure announced by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC as a way to stop the spread of Coronavirus.
While reacting to the video, many people pointed out that another actress, Eniola Badmus who recently got back from the United Kingdom was in attendance alongside Naira Marley and a host of others thereby defiling the sit at home and social distance measures.
They described the house party as such that portrayed Funke and JJ Skills as irresponsible while some said that Funke was not worthy of being an NCDC Ambassador.

See the Crowd at Funke Akindele’s Party with Naira Marley in attendance, Eniola Badmus and people who just barely returned from the UK, the height of irresponsibility, @Danny_Walterr, tweeted.
The House Party Funke Akindele and her Husband JJCskillz did with the likes of Naira Marley, Eniola Badmus.. why this during this total lockdown? @sisimiaa tweeted
@NotJustSalmanPR, said, Sidney pranked us, he got away with it. If the government doesn’t arrest everyone that attended that Funke Akindele’s house party, Maybe everyone should just go back to their normal lives and let the virus kill all of us
@Tife_fabunmi said It’s disappointing when we see educated people act like illiterates. Imagine an NCDC ambassador who is aware of what’s right and still doing the opposite Even if you don’t care about your health, what about those that attended the party? Funke Akindele messed up.
@Deshysmalls said Some people are angrier at the fact that I called Funke Akindele and her husband idiots than they are about what they did. If you excuse such behavior, you are an IDIOT too.
@FeralJack said Some of us said it was wrong to use Funke Akindele in that NCDC video, una say no, people look up to her, I hope you know the party she organized yesterday sent a message to those people who “look up to her” that Coronavirus is not that serious?
@Danny_Walterr, Even if Funke Akindele and her husband don’t care about themselves, they should do it for their Twins. Their Survival depends on their parents using their heads. I don’t even touch people in my house anymore, talk more of Strangers. Highly disappointing.
Meanwhile, in a tweet on her verified twitter handle, the actress said ” Thanks for the love guys!!!! We all have been together for over two weeks. We are safe and take all precautions!!! #ameestate is home for all.
You will recall that Funke was in an advisory video sponsored by the NCDC to sensitize people on the need to maintain social distancing and regular hand washing exercise to stop the spread of Coronavirus in the country.
