FCT minister to prosecute Naira Marley, others

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Muhammad Bello, has announced that rapper Naira Marley and others will be prosecuted for violating COVID-19 regulation.

Naira Marley had held a drive-in concert at Jabi Lake Mall in Abuja with attendees breaking social distancing rule and other COVID-19 regulations.

Their actions have been described by the Minister as reckless, wicked, insensitive and utter disrespect for the law and the wellbeing of people of the city.

This is contained in a press statement issued by the Minister's Chief Press Secretary Anthony Ogunleye.

Bello said, "The FCT Administration which has a responsibility to protect the lives of the citizenry is determined to prosecute all those involved in orchestrating these infractions to the full extent of the law”.
