It all began in September 2016 when Canada based Jude, had accused Oboli of copyright infringement on “Okafor’s Law” movie, adding that she had stolen his story idea for the movie. He alleged that Oboli took the work he had done regarding “Okafor’s Law”, and developed it without giving him due credit.

A Federal High Court in Lagos on March 24, 2017, then issued a court injunction directing the seizure of the movie. The court also issued an interim order, suspending the release and launch of the film, in any movie theatre or cinema house.


Despite the lifting of the order a week later, the case remained in court till the final verdict on May 2, 2019.

Here is what Omoni shared:

VICTORYYYYYYYYYYYY ?????? Glory be to God who gave us the victory! I am happy to announce to you all that today 2nd of May, judgement was passed and we won the case that Raconteur productions and Jude Idada brought against us and @filmoneng for Okafor’s Law It’s been 2 years! I remembered how I was shamed and all the names I was called! I remember I was at Tiannah’s place putting finishing touches to my dress on my way to my movie premiere when I was called that we had been served an injunction and we couldn’t show our movie. It was one of the worst days of my life! I remember breaking down in tears when I had to explain to a hall full of guests why they couldn’t watch the film. I was called a thief! May God never allow anyone label you a thief for your own work. I cried, I prayed, I fasted, I kept the watch with my friends and relatives. I lost 5kg in a space of 3 days. I was in the toilet every 30 minutes. It took its toll! But God never sleep nor slumbers. God knew I was innocent of everything I was being accused of and today even the laws of the land have pronounced me innocent. Details of the verdict coming shortly. Thank you to my winning team! My lawyers Alegeh and Co, @menaajakpovi. You are my heros. Thank you to my friends and family who moved into my home, called everyday, kept the watch, forced me to at least drink peppersoup when I couldn’t keep anything down for days! Did everything to make sure I didn’t go into depression. To my fans and everyone who stood by me. You know yourselves! I love you from the bottom of my heart! My king and my God. THANK YOU! I have been vindicated! ??????
