Some concerned Nigerians have demanded the arrest of musician, Azeez Fashola is popularly known as Naira Marley, for holding a concert in Abuja despite the ban on gatherings and events of more than 20 people in the country put in place by the government to curb the spread of Coronavirus in the country.
Many Nigerians have been arrested and charged to court for flouting the order including Nollywood star, Funke Akindele and her husband, Abdul Bello for hosting a house party.
Naira Marley had on Saturday uploaded a video of him and his crew alighting from a chartered plane.
The concert by Marley had led to public criticism with many calling for his arrest.
1. Somebody approved the Naira Marley concert
2. Somebody approved the non-essential flight to Abuja
3. Somebody approved a bottle of hard liquor per ticket
4. Somebody didn’t stop the concert when it lost control

Why should Naira Marley (who seem to like so much walaha) be arrested again when we watched on TV how several government officials who work with the president flout the lockdown rules and nothing happened to them? The Aisha Buhari issue is also about an SA flying around.

Naira Marley had a concert in Abuja in the middle of a pandemic and the place was packed full of people
Do people not care about their lives or they don't believe covid-19 is real?
