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."
