Reality TV star, Uti Nwachukwu has reacted to the arraignment of Funke Akindele and her husband in court.
The couple who are parents to twins pleaded guilty after they were arraigned for disobeying an order restricting movement due to coronavirus,
The couple threw a party at their residence at an estate in Ibeju-Lekki which was well attended by different celebrities.
A viral video from the event showed that the guests number way more than the number of people allowed in a gathering by the order declared by the Lagos State Government.
This led to her arrest after a backlash on social media for putting lives at risk by encouraging the spread of COVID-19.
Reacting to the development which will likely see Funke Akindele and her husband spend time in jail or pay a fine of N100,000, Uti Nwachukwu wrote:
“NIGERIA: the same ones screaming I love u! The same ones Begging you for help, the same ones admiring you ARE THE SAME PEOPLE That clamour for your persecution at the slightest misstep
.
one of the first lessons I learnt early: don’t fall for most of the praises of the ones that claim they are FANS! Unless tried and tested. They ache to see you fall from grace !! But not this time!! STAND STRONG FUNKE! .
He who has obeyed this SHUTDOWN 100% should cast the First stone …
She has apologised … She has even tweeted that she is broken, if that doesn’t scream remorse I don’t know why else would
.
H.E @jidesanwoolu Please Please Please impose a Fine and Free #freejenifa”
