Waw!!l I.K Dairo has sued Etisalat and Optima Media Group who
stages the yearly Nigerian Idol show for the unauthorized usage of
his song, Mosorire. He accused them of reproducing his song on
the show and airing it on air as well as their you tube channel
without his consent.
According to a source, Paul Play wouldn't have sued them if only
the companies agreed to his terms when his lawyers wrote them,
but they turned deaf ears to him and his lawyers instead, which
left them with no choice than to sue them.
Paul Play has sued them for N200m for special and general
damages for the flagrant and unlawful exploitation of his
copyrighted work. The case is expected to be heard in court soon.
