The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has expressed displeasure over the concert by hip-hop artist, Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, in Abuja on Saturday.
The National Coordinator of the PTF, Dr. Sani Aliyu, spoke on the development on Monday during the daily briefing of the body.
Aliyu, however, said the fate of Fashola, will be determined by the Federal Capital Territory Administration.
He said: “With regards to the fate of Naira Marley, I believe the FCT authorities have already taken action with regards to the chief organisers.
“But the decision on whether or not he will face penalties, etc is actually a decision of the FCT authorities.
“The PTF will always support any measure taken against people who continue to violate the guidelines we have put in place, particularly if they are putting public health at risk.”
The Director-General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, Chikwe Ihekweazu, said there are no plans to trace those who attended the concert.
Ihekweazu said: “On the plan whether we are going to track the people that came for the Naira Marley concert, no.
“We have a lot more important work to do than to do that, but if we have a positive from that community, we have a problem.
“We do have a problem if we have someone that went to that gathering and turns positive.
“We hope that doesn’t happen.”
