BREAKING: Abuja Court convicts, fines Naira Marley N200, 000 for violating COVID-19 protocols
Popular musician, Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley, has been fined N200,000 by a Mobile Court in Abuja on Friday for violating coronavirus (COVD-19) protocols on June 13, 2020.
During the trial, Fashola pleaded guilty to a four-count charge filed against him by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) for partaking in a music concert in Abuja in violation of COVID-19 directives.
Magistrate Idayat Akanni handed down the fine after Fashola pleaded guilty to the charge.
Recalled, the concert which was held at the Jabi Lake Mall attracted public condemnation as many of them who attended were found breaking protocols at the peak of the coronavirus pandemic.
Naira Marley was said to have flown in a chartered plane originally meant to convey a Lagos judge to the Federal Capital Territory for a concert on July 13 this year.
