COVID-19 LOCKDOWN: FG Is Spreading The Virus By Not Observing Social Distancing At Abba Kyari’s Burial Site

Nigerians have taken to Twitter to register their displeasure over the Nigeria Federal Government (FG) and Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) refusal to observe social for releasing Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari’s bodies and not obey social distancing as the deceased laid to rest in Abuja.

According to the law of social distancing which stated that no gathering of more than 20 people, there should at least 2 meters distance between two persons and also placed a ban on any form of gathering all over the world to curtail the spread of coronavirus.

Here are some of the reactions on Twitter.

“Hello @NCDCgov,

I have two questions for you in respect of the attached images.

1: Did you allow the families of other #COVID19 death bury their dead as you did here for Abba Kyari?

2: Why are you deliberately endangering public health by exposing an infected body?”

“ABBA KYARI BODY OF CHIEF OF STAFF ARRIVES DEFENSE GUEST HOUSE IN MAITAMA, ABUJA.

I actually see no social distancing there, and an infected body is there. It is well!

#buhari abcha CEO OF UBA #KemiOlunloyo”

“Despite #kemitalks Photos emerge as the body of Abba Kyari arrives Abuja for burial

It’s quite displessing seeing the number of people present for this burial
This falls short of the Govt to lead by example by showing the Citizens its seriousnes about social distancing
Pathetic”

“Abba Kyari body arrives Abuja. Meanwhile, NCDC ask us to refrain from attending mass gatherings to prevent the further spread of Coronavirus but here we are. Look at them”

“Our government have got to be the most useless in world.Not only is there a gathering of over 20 with No social distancing at the chief of Staff Mallam ABBA Kyari burial,there is an infected body in their mist and they prosecuted Funke Akindele,with no at confirmed case her party”

“The body of Abba Kyari arrives Abuja. Let’s just wait for NCDC to update the list as usual since majority always pretend to be ignorant in this country and social distancing isn’t necessary.”

“Hello @NCDCgov if you really did release the body of ABBA KYARI to his family & friends as seen in the picture here, then you need a Psychiatrist to be very honest and your credibility right now is questionable.

Let me hear one idiot drag anyone here again.

Anuofia!”

“Is anyone watching the burial of Abba Kyari?

Can you see the hypocrisy called Nigeria?

Where is the social distancing?

Why has his body been released for burial, when Lai Mohd specifically said Covid19 bodies won’t be released?

Why bring it into Defense guest house?”

“Are you guys watching NTA? Abba Kyari’s body was taken to Abuja and there is a congregation of more than 20 people praying and paying respect lol. NCDC said bodies couldn’t be claimed. Apparently it doesn’t count for this one.”

“Islamic rites and all, did we all see and read this news?

The dead means practically nothing to the living especially when handling them poses risks to the living.

NCDC would have insisted that Abba Kyari’s body be cremated and that be it for the safety of those who mourn him.”
