Nollywood actress, Uche Elendu, has stirred up a heated argument over the ordeals of her colleague, Funke Akindele.
The latter has been with the police since Sunday, over a party she held for her husband’s 43rd birthday on Saturday.
Elendu is concerned that Funke’s twins are worried about their mother’s plight.
But the reaction greeting her concern are divided and wild in some areas.
Elendu noted (sic):
“Please release her i dont have any excuses to make for her cos the law is simple, No Social gathering !!!! but her humble and sweet spirit doesnt deserve this arrest…We are Sorry on her behalf please @jidesanwoolu @balaelkana
She explained and apologised please listen and forgive, at least people ate food at the party, the people that clustered people to share 2 packs of indomie in the name of Quarantine relief were not arrested, Please Forgive her #freefunkeakindele
Nigerians pls the same way you got her arrested through social media pls beg them to release her, her twins r crying#stayathome.”
Here are three of the responses on Linda Ikeji Blog:
“Because it is FUNKE AKINDELE dats why the police wants to flex their muscle. It was a house party meaning pple there were not much. I couldnt count up to 20 pole when I watched the video. IMO STATE GOVERNOR last week thursday opened an isolation centre that had more than 400 pple in attendance gumming body together like chewing gum, was he arrested?. The Imam that hosted a Friday prayer with over 200 pple in attendance and they even attacked the taskforce team, was he arrested???. Rather they sealed up the mosque to avoid them having such. Everybody is just saying whatever they feel like. Please release FUNKE.”
“Uche elendu better keep quiet before they put you in prison too,she should have taught of her babies and the harm she would bring to them when she decided to have a party,she just needs to be taught a little lesson since she doesnt know the meaning of social distance, she claims her guests are all safe,how does she know,Corona does not show on the forehead,does she know who her guests have met with before coming to her house,she messed up big time.”
“Why are they still holding her. Is she the solution or the one who spread the Corona virus . All these government that didnt close the airport and borders arent arrested. She should be warned queried and not detained. The police us going too far . Sane bastard governor that release killers/ bokoharam terrorists as repentant terrorists. So the party she as accept and apologised co hosting with her husband is what will lead to the mass spread of Corona virus mass spread a d death right ? Nonsense a party that as been done and dusted making a rant and hype over this us annoying me.”
