A Nigerian actress who fronted a national campaign about social
distancing during the coronavirus lockdown has been arrested —
for throwing a wild party packed with revelers, according to
police.

Funke Akindele-Bello, 42, fronted a campaign for the Nigeria
Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in which she filmed PSAs
urging people to remain apart, saying, “Remember, your health is
in your hands.”

She sparked outrage last week when video showed her throwing a
wild party for her husband’s 43rd birthday — with her Lagos
mansion packed with guests dancing and drinking in close
proximity.

The apparent hypocrisy sparked numerous online memes, with
videos of her PSA spliced together with the packed party.

Lagos State Police on Sunday announced the arrest of the
“popular TV sensation”-turned-COVIDIOT.

The force said she was busted for “violating the Stay-at-Home
directive and organizing a social event with a large gathering
of people which could lead to the spread of Covid-19.”

Officers also arrested singer Naira Marley, one of those filmed
at the party, while warning there was a “manhunt for other
attendees.”

Akindele-Bello and her husband, Abdulrasheed Bello — a singer
known as JJC Skillz — were both charged and found guilty, police
said. As well as being sentenced to 14 days’ community service,
they were both ordered to make a tour “to educate the public on
the consequences of non-compliance of the restriction order,”
police said.

The actress later took to Instagram to insist that everyone at
the party had been there for “some months before, weeks before,
days before the lockdown.”

“Nobody came from their houses to party with us. No,” she
claimed, while insisting, “I’m not defending myself. I
understand your concerns.”

The NCDC and Dettol, which backed the campaign, socially and
otherwise distanced themselves from the actress, removing her
PSAs.

“As an organization we are concerned at the turn of events,”
Dettol Nigeria tweeted, stressing that it “does not condone any
breach of the guidelines on Covid-19.”
