The actress and some of her guests, such as fellow actress, Eniola Badmus; singer Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley; former AMEN Estate promoter, Babatunde Gbadamosi and others, were ordered to do community service for 14 days and to visit public places in Lagos State to educate people on the consequences of not complying with restriction orders. They were also fined a sum of a hundred thousand naira each.
The actress challenged the suit and questioned Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s right to impose a fine on her, since the lock-down was instituted by President Muhammadu Buhari. She requested through her lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje, a public apology from the state government to all persons arrested and convicted in three widely read newspapers.
However, an Ikoyi Federal High Court has ruled in favour of the state government and threw out Akindele-Bello’s suit, arguing that the governor has the power to make regulations in place of the President, according to section 8 of the Quarantine Act, 2004.
Justice Aluko of the Ikoyi Federal High Court observed that the law was made under the Lagos State Public Health Law, 2015 and Section 8 of the Quarantine Act which grants the governor power to make regulations in Section 4 of the Act.

Okay....let me go back and read again cause I don't understand what I just read.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. Read it very slowly while drawing your ears so that you won't come back to say you don't understand
DeleteThese Naija girls think that being "celebs" makes everybody including the courts to worship them.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why they didn't fine her 100M.
Odiegwu o.
Exactly what you get when you hire a charge and bail lawyer Kotima.
ReplyDeleteThe Governor has every right to impose a fine no matter who instituted the law.
Funke I'd advise you don't make an enemy out of someone you should be seeking favour,especially when you're on the wrong side.
Funke the joker, lol.
ReplyDeleteIs she OK like this at all? Somebody close to her should let her know that she committed an offense by violating the covid 19rules. She must be joking I guess
DeleteSeems her close friends don't tell her the truth or she choose to be stubborn...
DeleteLol, funke no allow any lawyer deceive and defraud you. Go back to your social studies and read about the arms of government and their duties in line with the central government.
ReplyDeleteBut I thought they said she's a graduate of law from Unilag. Her education is questionable then.
DeleteI don't understand her suit or is it not the same majority condemned they about.
DeleteWhy was she challenging it when there was clearly a lockdown everywhere and the state government has every right to ensure that the law is enforced and obeyed. Mama, you should know better nau.
ReplyDeleteIs she now an ex convict? I want to check something.
DeleteShe for just silently do the community service, going to public places to educate will even bring her more fame, how much is 100k to her na? Due all these unpleasant matters as quickly as possible.
ReplyDelete*Die all these...
DeleteThe conviction will be on her record. She will need to fill 'yes' in her visa applications regarding convictions and then explain what happened.
DeleteFunke Akindele thinks that the courtroom is Jenifer film set. *900k993
ReplyDeleteIs this MENT or what? So nobody to advice her.
ReplyDeleteLawyers need to justify their retainership contract or look for more opportunities for billable hours.
ReplyDeleteFunke, your lawyers are running this show for themselves. You don't/didn't have a case my darling.
I thought she had been pardoned for this incident
ReplyDeleteLike I don't understand! Was she high when thus thought came up!
