   A Nigerian actress who fronted a national campaign about social   
   distancing during the coronavirus lockdown has been arrested —   
   for throwing a wild party packed with revelers, according to   
   police.   
      
   Funke Akindele-Bello, 42, fronted a campaign for the Nigeria   
   Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in which she filmed PSAs   
   urging people to remain apart, saying, “Remember, your health is   
   in your hands.”   
      
   She sparked outrage last week when video showed her throwing a   
   wild party for her husband’s 43rd birthday — with her Lagos   
   mansion packed with guests dancing and drinking in close   
   proximity.   
      
   The apparent hypocrisy sparked numerous online memes, with   
   videos of her PSA spliced together with the packed party.   
      
   Lagos State Police on Sunday announced the arrest of the   
   “popular TV sensation”-turned-COVIDIOT.   
      
   The force said she was busted for “violating the Stay-at-Home   
   directive and organizing a social event with a large gathering   
   of people which could lead to the spread of Covid-19.”   
      
   Officers also arrested singer Naira Marley, one of those filmed   
   at the party, while warning there was a “manhunt for other   
   attendees.”   
      
   Akindele-Bello and her husband, Abdulrasheed Bello — a singer   
   known as JJC Skillz — were both charged and found guilty, police   
   said. As well as being sentenced to 14 days’ community service,   
   they were both ordered to make a tour “to educate the public on   
   the consequences of non-compliance of the restriction order,”   
   police said.   
      
   The actress later took to Instagram to insist that everyone at   
   the party had been there for “some months before, weeks before,   
   days before the lockdown.”   
      
   “Nobody came from their houses to party with us. No,” she   
   claimed, while insisting, “I’m not defending myself. I   
   understand your concerns.”   
      
   The NCDC and Dettol, which backed the campaign, socially and   
   otherwise distanced themselves from the actress, removing her   
   PSAs.   
      
   “As an organization we are concerned at the turn of events,”   
   Dettol Nigeria tweeted, stressing that it “does not condone any   
   breach of the guidelines on Covid-19.”
