    Naira Marley arrested

    The Lagos State Special Offences (Mobile) Court, Oshodi has fined Naira Marley and his manager N100,000 for violating the ban on interstate travels two months ago.

    A statement from the spokesperson of the state police command, Bala Elkana, disclosed that Naira Marley was arraigned alongside his Manager Seyi Awouga on a one-count charge of “breach of the cessation of movement and interstates travel order made by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under Regulation 4(i) of the Lagos State Infectious Disease Emergency Prevention) Regulation No 2 of 2020 and committed an offence punishable under Section 58 Public Health Law, Ch. P16, Laws of Lagos State 2015”.

    Naira Marley and his manager however, pleaded guilty and were awarded a fine of one hundred thousand naira (100,000) each by the presiding Magistrate.

    Nigerian singer, Azeez Adeshina Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley, was reportedly been detained by the Lagos state police command for flouting movement restrictions to attend a concert in Abuja.

    Police spokesperson Bala Elkana revealed that the singer was arrested over the concert, which had flouted the safety guidelines put in place by the federal government to curb the spread of COVID-19 in Nigeria.

    He said, “We are in court as we speak. He will be arraigned for violating the interstate travel order. That is the aspect that concerns Lagos State.”

    It would be recalled that Marley and former BBNaija housemate, Kim Oprah, were airlifted to Abuja by a charter and aircraft maintenance firm, Executive Jet Services, for the concert amidst a ban put in place against flight operation in the country.
