A number of Nigerians on social media platforms have attacked the government and Naira Marley over the recent concert he staged in Abuja.
Marley held a concert on Saturday night in Abuja after he flew into the Federal Capital Territory in a private jet despite a ban on interstate movement and flights.
The federal government had announced that only flights repatriation of Nigerians and with essential goods are allowed in the airports till further notice.
The concert by Marley has raised eyebrows on Twitter as Nigerians question authorities for allowing such crowd despite increasing cases of coronavirus in Nigeria.
Here are some comments from Twitter:
I know Naira Marley stays in Lagos and not Abuja. How did he fly to Abuja when there’s still a travel ban in Nigeria?

It was moving smoothly and éverybody was behaving normal until Naira Marley came on stage then the Marlians in them jumped out.
Playnetwork should have known better that Marlians won't behave normal for long.

The Naira Marley concert lastnight is everything a drawback in the fight against Covid19.”
