FG apologises for the violation of social distancing order at late Abba Kyari

Nigerians took to social media to blast the government after videos
and photos from the burial of Abba Kyari showing how crowded it was,
surfaced online. Many people turned out for the burial and several
guidelines put in place by the government to curb the spread of the
COVID-19 pandemic were violated.

Boss Mutapha said it is regrettable that social distancing was not observed during the burial.

The PTD recognises regrettably the unintentional violation of the
principles and protocols that form the core of our messages to Nigerians
at teh funeral of the late Chief of Staff. These principles for
emphasis include the guiidance provided on mass gatherings, social
distancing, personal hygiene and restriction of movement. Lessons have
been learnt and appropriate measures have been taken to close all gaps”
he said
