The Governor also pardoned Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele and her husband, JJC Skillz over their COVID-19 violations.
A statement signed by the State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Moyosore Onigbanjo, SAN, said Governor Sanwo-Olu acted based on the recommendations of the State Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy, under the powers conferred on the Governor by Section 212 (1) & (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.
Funke Akindele and her husband were arraigned in April after hosting a party at their home on 5 April amidst COVID-19 lockdowns.
After their convictions, the judge ordered them to pay fines of 100,000 Naira each and carry out 14 days of community service.
They were also required to visit 10 important public places in Lagos State to educate them on the dangers of flouting COVID-19 violations put in place by the Lagos State Government.
