Babatunde Gbadamosi,
a former governorship candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), and Naira
Marley, a singer, have apologized to the Lagos government for flouting social
distancing directives by attending Funke Akindele’s party.
The duo were earlier
made to appear in court alongside Folashade, Gbadamosi’s wife, after which the
charges to be filed against them were conditionally dropped on the basis of
their remorse.
In an apology letter
dated April 9, Marley and Gbadamosi undertook to obey all social regulations of
the government towards curbing the spread of COVID-19.
The duo, as was part
of the conditions for their charges to be dropped, also vowed to go into
isolation for a period of 14 days, to protect members of the public from any
potential infection.
“I hereby apologize
to the governor and the good people of Lagos state in any manner that I may
have violated the social distancing regulations and stay at home order of the
president,” the letters read in part.
“As a law-abiding
citizen, I undertake to observe, obey, and fully comply with all regulations
and directive of the president and governor on the social distancing of people
that seek to curb the read of coronavirus in Nigeria.”
