The government official who died on Friday, April 17, was laid to rest during the early hours of Saturday, April 18, according to Muslim rites, and a large gathering at the burial site has caused an outrage on social media.
Disgruntled Nigerians berated the federal government for allowing the gathering of so many people at the venue, despite the fact that the president had legalized the quarantine act, which prohibits citizens from holding large gatherings in a bid to curb the spread of coronavirus.
Nigerians were quick to remind the FG that Funke Akindele was only recently convicted for organizing a birthday party for her husband in their Lagos home, yet government officials have openly flouted the same rule she was convicted for.

Taking to Twitter, Nigerians called the Nigerian leaders hypocrites who make laws and then go ahead to break same.
Some demanded the government issue an apology to popular Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele who was recently arrested and convicted for organizing a private birthday party for her husband at their home in Lagos.
“Funke Akindele was arrested and arraigned for throwing a party in her house. Some politicians decided to organise a prayer session, hereby breaching the Presidential order & @NCDCgov guideline on social distancing, but no action will be taken because ‘proximity to power?” a Twitter user wrote.
Read what Nigerians are saying below:
If we do not use the same energy that we used on Funke Akindele to change it for the government as regards to this burial, then we owe her an apology. And that means Burna Boy was right, so we also owe him an apology.

It’s a shame that’s we have laws for the common man different from those that are ruling class. Actress Funke Akindele was in court for housing a party, meanwhile Abba Kyari's burial has so much crowd, no social distancing. No nothing! ????
