The president’s chief-of-staff, Abba Kyari, passed on barely four weeks after testing positive to the COVID-19 pandemic, better known as coronavirus infection.
He was buried today with a number of Nigeria’s top leaders in attendance.
On seeing this, Nigerians have taken to the Twitter community to drag the leaders for not adhering to their own lockdown directive.
At present, Funke Akindele is also trending as apologies are flying all around the place. Nigerians are apologising for dragging the actress on Twitter after she held a house party to celebrate her husband’s birthday, which led to their arrest, arraignment in court and subsequent conviction and sentencing.
Pictures of the late chief-of-staff’s burial are all over social media and Nigerians are furious at the number of people present, despite the lockdown order.
See some of their various reactions below:

Funke akindele had her birthday party and was prosecuted for social gathering. I can see the notherners and politicians gathering together like iced fish inside a carton for the burial of Abba Kyari. If nobody can prosecute you, Covid-19 will.
