The Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu, has confirmed that people that attended the burial of the late Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, were advised to stay away from the Aso Rock.

President Buhari’s spokesperson revealed this development on his Twitter account on Sunday.

Shehu in the post noted that it is in the rules put in place by the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC) and the Federal Ministry of Health.

“There is nothing extraordinary about those of us who attend Abba Kyari’s funeral being advised to distance ourselves from the Villa.”

“This is in line with the standard rules put in place by the National Center for Disease Control, @NCDCgov and the Federal Ministry of Health. You do these things to stop the spread of #Coronavirus.”

“For the most part, the Villa has operated digitally in the last few weeks so there is really nothing new to this,” he tweeted.

Nigerians had called for the apology of the presidency to Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, over the images of the crowd at Kyari’s burial went viral.
