COPYRIGHT: PHOTOGRAPHER SUES 2FACE, WIFE FOR N120M

-    -        A photographer, Mr. Emmanuel Okolo, has filed a-N120-million copyright infringement suit against musician Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2face, and wife Annie.

-       -    The photographer sued the couple and one Mr. Anthonio Anifite before Justice Mohammed Idris of a Federal High Court in Lagos.

-      -      He alleged that the defendants made use of some photographs he took at the traditional wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Idibia in Uyo, A’Ibom State in 2013 without duly attributing the works to him.

-       -     The photographer, who sued alongside his company, Papilonmexy Films Studios Limited, claimed that the defendants wrote ‘2faceonline.com’ across 148 out of the 355 high-resolution photographs he took at the couple’s wedding and uploaded them on 2face’s official website, denying him credit and referral opportunities.
