They insisted that her outfit was meant for social events and not a burial.

Reacting to the backlash, Wokoma shared some pictures to show the kind of dress and accessories to wear to a funeral.

She also posted pictures of some foreign thespians and what they wore while going to a funeral service.

Not done with her response, the actress used some abusive words on her critics.

She wrote, “Some of you are obviously STU*ID hence wisdom is far from you. Forming fashion guru yet una never travel comot from una local government.

“Oh I forgot, I am supposed to tie wrapper or look miserable to soothe your empty brains.”
