Okafor's law saga: Somebody must be punished--Hon. Desmond Elliot



Following the circumstances surrounding the aborted premiere of the much talked about Omoni Oboli's Okafor's Law, last Friday evening,  Hon. Desmond Elliot has declared that somebody must be punished for the anomaly.
The premiere of the movie was stopped following a court injunction.
Recall that sometime in September, last year, the actress was accused of copyright infringement by a Canadian-based Nigerian script writer, Jude Idada. But Omoni swept the accusation under the carpet as 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.
Unfortunately, for Omoni, while the guests were already present for the premiere, it was announced to the surprise of everybody 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.
Reacting to the development, Desmond Elliot wrote on his Instagram page that "Someone must must be punished."
