Canada based writer accuses Omoni Oboli of plagiarism

Controversy is trailing Nollywood actress Omoni Oboli after a Canada based writer who goes by the name Jude Idada accused her of intellectual theft.

Jude is accusing Omoni of lifting his script which he said she adapted for her yet-to-be-released movie titled “Okafor’s Law” which got a nod recently at the Toronto International Film Festival TIFF (one of the top 5 film festivals in the world).

In an interview with TNS, Jude claims Omoni did not seek permission from him before copying his script for the unreleased movie which the actress, producer and director described as her most ambitious movie project.

As at the time of filing in this report; the mother of three who took a break from the movie scene in 1996 to complete her studies and returned in 2009, was yet to respond to the claims of the Canada based writer.
