Two years after a long legal tussle, popular Nollywood actress, Omoni Oboli, has won a case of copyright filed against her by Jude Idada and Chioma Onyekwe of Raconteur Productions.
It will be recalled that Idada and Onyekwe got an interlocutory injunction from the Federal High Court preventing Filmone and Dioni Visions from showing the movie, Okafor’s Law.
The judgement led to the premiere being cancelled on March 24, 2017.
But on May 2, 2019, Justice Ibrahim Buba of the Federal High Court, Lagos Division, said the plaintiff failed to adduce sufficient and credible evidence to prove ownership and authorship of the screenplay and the script of the feature film, Okafor’s Law.
The case was therefore dismissed.
Oboli had earlier counter sued the plaintiff and is determined to pursue the case to a logical conclusion, her Media Office said in a statement on Tuesday.
