Naira Marley Arrested For Flouting Covid-19 Orders After Abuja Show.

Popular Nigerian singer Azeez Fashola, well known as ‘Naira Marley’ has been arrested for flouting covid-19 orders on movement after his Abuja show.

Naira Marley was reported to be arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for flouting interstate travel ban when he flew to Abuja via a private jet for his now-infamous drive-by concert.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana confirmed that the singer was charged for violating the COVID-19 order banning interstate travels earlier put in place to curb the spread of coronavirus.

The controversial artiste left Lagos for the Federal Capital Territory for a concert held at the Jabi Lake Mall, on Saturday, July 13.

Following public outrage, Jabi Lake mall was sealed for two weeks by Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) Ministerial Task Team on COVID-19 for hosting the drive-by concert while Executive Jets Services had their license temporarily withdrawn. 

Naira’s concert was advertised as a drive-in event but several videos emerged on social media which showed people dancing together.

This will be the second time the singer will be facing the court for flouting the lockdown orders.
