House Party: Naira Marley, Gbadamosi Yet To Be Arraigned

The Lagos State Police Command has said it is yet to fix a date to arraign controversial singer, Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley and former governorship aspirant in Lagos State, Babatunde Gbadamosi.

The Marly and Gbadamosi were guests at last Saturday’s birthday house party organized by Nollywood actress cum producer, Funke Akindele-Bello, for her husband, JJC Skillz’s  43rd birthday in Amen Estate at the Ibeju-Lekki.

Both men turned themselves into the police on Monday on the suspicion that they and other party-goers violated the Infectious Disease Regulation of Lagos State.

An Ogba Magistrates’ Court on Monday, found Akindele and her husband guilty of the offence.

Following the arrest of Funke Akindele, Gbadamosi had apologized for attending the house party, violating the Lagos State Government’s order, which barred a public gathering of more 20 people.

Lagos Police Public Relations Officer (PRO) Mr Elkana Bala, told The Nation that the proposed arraignments would not hold today (Tuesday).

“I don’t know who proposed today. They will be arraigned, but no court is sitting today. Courts don’t sit today. They have days they sit now because of this Coronavirus. They sat yesterday (Monday), the next sitting will be tomorrow (Wednesday),” he said.
