Funke Akindele Bello and her husband JJC Skillz have come under fire from Nigerians on social media for hosting a house party in celebration of his 43rd birthday, despite the coronavirus lockdown enforced in Lagos State.
In a video that has since gone viral on Twitter, the couple can be seen dancing to singer Naira Marley’s “Tesu Mole” song. Naira Marley who was in attendance alongside several other party guests who were also vibing to his music.
Following the video’s release, Nigerians are calling for the arrest of the actress and her husband for their “thoughtlessness.”
Check out the tweets below:
At a time when coronavirus is spreading like wildfire, Funke Akindele decided to hold a full house party with people who just returned from the UK.
If the gov't doesn not do anything about this, then let's call off this lockdown and let everyone return to their normal life.

So Funke Akindele and her husband still held a party in their house yesterday despite the frown against social gatherings.. Nigerians be doing the most tbh..
And to think that she’s an advocate for good hygiene even makes matters worse..

Woke up to the video of Funke Akindele’s house party and all I can say is we don’t value life in this country.
Govt is doing everything possible to curb this but as a celebrity and NCDC ambassador, you go on to put people’s life at risk?
Arrest everyone fgs!

Isn’t same Funke Akindele that did advert for Dettol and NCDC concerning this Coronavirus pandemic?
How irresponsible can she and her husband be…. I think sense is far away from those we call our celebrities. ????♂️????♂️— Tosin????????????????♂️ (@Ohloowatoscene) April 5, 2020
It is an high level of irresponsibility for Funke Akindele& her husband to organize a house party with so many people in attendance at this time when social distancing is very important.
To imagine that @NCDCgov used Funke Akindele an an Ambassador.

Funke Akindele and her husband probably don't even know the consequence of their action. They only need one positive person in that gathering to infect the other idiots in attendance. They should all go on compulsory self isolation.

What impression does Funke Akindele leave to those who look up to her after that House party? Not to even talk about her being an ambassador for NCDC.
Seeing Naira Marley there with his boys, Eniola Badmus too?? Missing just one birthday in a lifetime won’t kill you!!!
