Naira Marley sparks outrage for violating lockdown with fully packed Abuja show

Controversial Nigerian singer, Naira Marley and ex-Big Brother Naija housemate Kim Oprah have been roped into another controversy after violating the Presidential ban on interstate travel and hosting a fully packed show in Abuja.

Recall that Musa Nuhu, the Director-General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority in a statement released on Tuesday, June 2, said flights will resume in five airports on June 21 and other airports will be added gradually.

However, in spite of the directive, the controversial singer and the reality show star boarded a private jet to Abuja for the Drive-In concert which was held at Silverbird Entertainment Center which is located at Plot 1161, Memorial Drive, By Musa Yar’adua Center, Central Business District, Abuja.

He shared a video of him and Kim Oprah alighting from the flight with the caption “Naira Walk”.

Videos that surfaced on social media hours later, revealed that the ban on public gatherings of more than 20 people was also violated at the event center. They also violated the federal government’s directive on wearing on face masks and social distancing.
