Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, and her musician husband, Abdul Rasheed Bello, aka JJC Skillz, have been sentenced to 14-day community service for defying the Lagos State’s COVID-19 lockdown order to check the spread of coronavirus.

Mrs. Aje Afunwa of the Lagos State Magistrates’ Court in Ogba, who pronounced the sentence, also fined them N100,000 each.

The magistrate, who also ordered that Akindele and her husband be placed in self-isolation, added that the couple must compile the names and phone numbers of all those that attended JJC Skillz’s birthday party and submit same to the court.
