Sometime in September 2016, Omoni Oboli was accused of copyright infringement for
the Okafor’s Law title she gave her movie, by a Canada based writer, Jude Idada. The Nollywood actress Omoni Oboli was also accused of stealing his story and idea for
her new movie “Okafor’s Law.”
Idada revealed this in an exclusive
interview with TNS. He also stated that Oboli copied his idea for her directorial debut, “Being Mrs Elliott.”
However, the actress/producer maintained her silence and went on to promote and set a release date for the movie for March
31st with the premiere today, after a demand letter was sent, the matter taken to court for the copyright infringement and
trademark violation.
Today, an injunction was gotten for Okafor’s Law to prevent its premiere and also the release on the 31st of March.
If the premiere goes on disregarding the order of the court, they will be guilty of
contempt of court. Find pictures of the court order attached
