Actress Uche Elendu has made an appeal to the Lagos state government and the police for the release of her colleague, Funke Akindele-Bello, citing the well-being of her twins as a reason.
On her Instagram page, she posted a message in which she urged:
Please release her. I don’t have any excuses to make for her because the law is simple: No Social gathering! Her humble and sweet spirit doesn’t deserve this arrest…We are sorry on her behalf. Please @jidesanwoolu @balaelkana. She explained and apologized. Please listen and forgive. At least people ate food at the party. The people that clustered people to share 2 packs of indomie in the name of Quarantine relief were not arrested. Please forgive her. #freefunkeakindele. Nigerians, please, the same way you got her arrested through social media, please beg them to release her. Her twins are crying.#stayathome
