Naira Marley’s Concert: FCT Seals Off Jabi Lake Mall

The Federal Capital Territory Administration, Abuja, FCTA, had been reported to have sealed off the Jabi Lake Mall for viplating restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus.

The FCT ministerial enforcement task force on COVID-19 sealed off the mall on Sunday after it hosted a concert by Naira Marley, a singer.

The presidential task force on COVID-19 had banned public events and gatherings of more than 20 persons amid the coronavirus pandemic.

But the mall hosted the concert on Saturday, with pictures and videos showing people flouting social distancing measures.

The musical event was planned as a drive-in concert but it failed to conform to the planned arrangement.

Criticisms is trailing the event, with many Nigerians calling for disciplinary measures against the singer and the organisers.

The musician was reported to have arrived from Lagos on a chartered flight.

It would be recalled that the musician some weeks ago flouted the social distancing instruction of the Lagos state government when he was seen with others partying at the home of an actress Funke Akindele
