Nigerians on social media have expressed mixed reactions to the arraignment of actress Funke Akindele in court for flouting the social distancing order.
Funke Akindele was arrested yesterday after she threw a party at their residence which had guests numbering above the number of persons the government permitted in a gathering.
The actress and her husband JJC Skillz were arraigned at the Magistrate Court 1 in Ogba where she pleaded guilty to the charges levelled against her.
She's now likely to spend time in jail or pay a fine of N100,000.
Below is a video showing her arriving at the court barely 24 hours after she was arrested.
Reacting to the video which showed the actress entering the court, Nigerians called for the arrest of all those in the crowd gathered around her right inside the court premises.
Below are some of the reactions gathered by MyNigeria.com.

Nigerian Twitter and hypocrisy are 5 & 6. People called for Funke's arrest and now the same set of people are calling for her release. We are really doing well in this country. Useless generation! #funkeakindelebello
