Paul 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 along with their youtube channel without his consent. Based on a source, Paul Play wouldn't have sued them only if the firms consented to his terms when his lawyers wrote them, nevertheless they turned deaf ears to him and his lawyers instead, which left them without any 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 anticipated to be heard in court soon. Take a look at a few of the court documents after the break.
