Dettol Nigeria has reacted after the Lagos state police command arrested actress, Funke Akindele-Bello, for flouting the lockdown order in Lagos state.
Funke and her husband, JJC Skillz had a birthday party at their Amen estate home in Lagos state on Saturday night which was attended by quite a number of people which contravenes the social distancing order of the Lagos state government.
She faced backlash that forced her to apologise and was later arrested by the police on Sunday evening while her husband and singer Naira Marley have been asked to come forward for questioning.
Meanwhile shortly after the Coronavirus pandemic began in Lagos, Funke ran a video campaign sponsored by Dettol. In the video, she emphasised on the need for Nigerians to practice proper hygiene such as washing of their hands and social distancing.
Many Nigerians on Twitter this morning bashed her for flouting the social distancing she advised Nigerians about in her campaign ad for Dettol.
Shortly after the news of her arrest broke, Dettol Nigeria on its Twiter page, said as a responsible organization, it does not condone any breach of the guidelines on Covid-19 and are concerned about the turn of events. NCDC on its part said it has not engaged brand ambassdors as part of its response to COVID-19.
