The number of people at Abba Kyari’s burial and the lack of social distancing are major sources of concern. Less than 10 people should have attended. This PANDEMIC is a serious issue. We cannot gamble. May his soul rest in peace.

Funke akindele Got prosecuted for not observing social Distancing for a party not more than 50pple. But at Abba kyari’s burial the whole north gathered there and it’s not an offence cos its a burial.
