When Canadian-based Nigerian script
writer, Jude Idada accused Omoli Oboli of copyright infringement in
respect of her much-talked about movie, "Okafor's Law",
the actress did not do anything to address the matter. Instead, she
went ahead to complete the movie and set dates for its premiere and
cinema release.
This infuriated the representatives of
Jude Idada, who took the matter to court for copyright infringement
and trademark violation. But unfortunately, she got what she did not
for last Friday evening, as her guests who were already present for
the movie premiere, left the venue without seeing the movie. It was
announced to their surprise that an injunction had been gotten to
prevent the premiere of "Okafor’s Law" and also its
release on March 31 with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Defendants in the case,
being Omoni Oboli, Dioni Visions and Filmone Distribution.
Addressing her guests at the botched
premiere, the devastated actress, flanked by a host of Nollywood
actresses including, IK Ogbonna, Ini Edo, Uche Jombo, Kemi Lala
Akindoju, Chioma Chukwuka, Ufuoma McDermott among others, broke down
in tears as she insisted that she wrote the movie 100%. But when
contacted, Jude Idada, who is currently shooting a movie in the
country confirmed the incident. According to him, his lawyers advised
him, not to talk about the matter since it's already in the court.
"Let the law take it due cost," Jude said.
