The Lagos State
Police Command has said it is yet to fix a date to arraign controversial
singer, Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley and former governorship
aspirant in Lagos State, Babatunde Gbadamosi.
The singer and
politician were guests at last Saturday’s party organised by Nollywood actress,
Mrs Funke Akindele, for her husband Abdul-Rasheed Bello’s 43rd birthday in Amen
Estate at the Ibeju-Lekki party.
Both men turned themselves
in to 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 Bello guilty of the offence.
Chief Magistrate
Yewande Aje-Afunwa sentenced the couple to a 14-day community service and a
fine of N100,000 each.
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.
The Command ordered
Marley and the other guests to make themselves available or be declared wanted.
Its Public Relations
Officer (PRO) Mr Elkana Bala, a Deputy Superintendent (DSP), 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.
