The singer and politician were guests at the party hosted by Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele and her husband, Abdul Rasheed Bello, Nigerian singer, and producer, better known as JJC Skillz.

The couple went against both Lagos State and Federal government orders on as they hosted a house party in celebration of JJC Skillz’s birthday amidst coronavirus lockdown.
The party was crowded with popular faces such as Naira Marley and Eniola Badmus in attendance.

The Lagos State Government later withdrew charges against them after the singer and the politician agreed to tender an apology to the President, Muhammadu Buhari, and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu violating the directive to stay at home.
