Paul Play Takes Etisalat/Nigerian Idol To Court For Using His Song Without Authorisation




Paul I.K Dairo has sued Etisalat and Optima Media Group who stage 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 youtube channel without his consent.

Paul Play said he wouldn’t have sued the brands if they agreed to his terms when his lawyer wrote them. He stressed that they didn’t respond to him and his lawyer, hence he had no choice than to go to court. He is suing them for N200 million for special and general damages for the flagrant and unlawful exploitation of his copyrighted work.
