The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, on Sunday, has said that Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele also known as Jenifa, is no longer it's brand ambassador.

This announcement was made shortly after a video of the actress and her husband, JJCSkillz holding a house party went viral on the internet.

After many reactions and reports from Nigerians about the party, the Lagos State Police Command arrested the actress for violating the lockdown order of the government.

The actress had addressed Nigerians to observe social distancing and personal hygiene to stop further spread of the COVID-19 virus in the country in adverts for the NCDC and Dettol.

According to the NCDC, via their twitter handle, they said “As an agency of the Federal Government of Nigeria, NCDC has not engaged brand ambassadors as part of our response to COVID-19. We continue to emphasise that all Nigerians maintain social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”

Dettol Nigeria also reacted to the video via their Twitter handle, “We have been made aware through social media that Funke Akindele recently, acting in her personal capacity, had a celebration which is against the caution to the public on social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The NCDC partnered with Dettol on a public service message to educate our communities about preventive measures against COVID-19. Funke is not a brand ambassador of the NCDC.

“As a responsible organization and brand, Dettol does not condone any breach of the guidelines on COVID-19.

“As an organisation, we are concerned at the turn of events.

“We will continue to support NCDC and the Nigerian government to fight COVID-19.”

The actress was arrested at her residence in Amen Estate and was taken to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba.

Meanwhile, the Police has begun a manhunt for Funke's husband, Abdulrasheed Bello aka JJC Skillz and singer Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley, who were present at the party.

same way the day of celebration for Atalanta in their UCL win over Valencia brought about multiple spread of coronavirus in the Bergamo region and brought the whole of Italy to her knees

Social media don cast Funke Akindele. I believe she don learn her lessons. Next time, na chadian army I go call for her.

Op, correct the heading, for she has never been NCDC ambassador but an ambassador for DettolNigeria.

Dettol however has engaged in Dettol/NCDC campaigns since the outbreak to curb the spread of the virus.

Serves the hypocrites, right.

Humans are natural hypocrites for the most part.

Just imagine Kyle Walker of Manchester City having a sex party all through Tuesday with a friend, only to ironically write a message on social media the next day urging people to maintain social distancing and stay indoors.

Very very funny people.

It takes one tree to build a thousand Matches but it takes one match to burn Thousands of trees...

She has spent years building her reputation but only one foolish act, can destroy you completely...

If I'm lying, ask R-Kelly when he comes back from prison

You see dat thing wey Dem dey call privacy?
Me and am na friend!
I so love privacy sotay,I develop hatred for noise..

She messed up, yes but the way people are rejoicing over it is what is making me confused.
Hian she's human and bound to make mistakes but you see those people rejoicing over her mistakes, you all can never see her downfall because she is one of the most hardworking woman I know. This too shall pass.

This lady will work hard to redeem her image and personality.

Thats her worry right now and not the arrest!

Nawa o just because she nor gree hear word and was stupid

The outcry is much esp cos twas posted on social media.

Chaiiii....cheap publicity and mistake don swerve Funke's multi-million contract.

Hateful, spiteful, envious and bitter nigerians,I throway salute oooo....Una don happy now ABI?


After now na Una Go dey creep into her DM like Nicodemus dey beg her for money con dey abuse am publicly



No wonder my evergreen favourite musician,chief Ebenezer obey.he sang taye banfe ko rora shaye o, ayeoferan e aforieni

Translation

If the world is hailing you, praising you or admiring you, watch your back and be very careful because those who are singing your praises don't want you to be successful except God

Meanwhile I hope jenifa too has learnt her lesson.everything is not for social media


Then again the elders say when you are in trouble,that's when you will know your real friends and the real human nature

See how everyone is quick to mock and judge her like they themselves have not one time or the other broken a law and gotten away with it

Now you see the real reason why celebrities don't give back to their society

This reminds me of olamides recent song that he sang Eyin Omo Instagram Which translates Instagram ladies,it's you people that will kill him, you will be the ones that will put him in trouble and you will still be the same ones that will try to act sychophantic in getting him out of trouble,do you want to kill Him?


Note that for all those places o put him,he was referring to himself as me

Well i have always been a fan of this lady (funke) but honestly she f**kup big time even as u did desire to have such a get together why make it public? Why not drink n eat dance a little and everybody goes home, No you carry am enter social media trust Nigerians naa.....


Well i just hope u learn from these.... All d best
