\n<\/div>\n
\nReport says, the Lagos State Police Command has arrested Funke Akindele Bello for hosting a party against the lockdown order in Lagos State.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe Lagos State Police Command was drawn to a viral video showing a large number of persons mainly in the entertainment industry in an Estate, along Ajah, Ibeju-Lekki axis, Lagos celebrating a birthday party organised by Funke Akindele Bello and her husband.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice detectives from the State CID Yaba were promptly drafted to the location. Funke Akindele was arrested. An investigation is ongoing, efforts are intensified to arrest the remaining persons in the video, among whom are Azeez Fashola a.k.a Naira Marley and Abdul Rasheed Bello a.k.a.
