Media mogul, Mo Abudu has reacted to the recent copyright infringement allegations made by freelance journalist, Tobore Ovuorie. She revealed that over a 100 people worked on the development of ‘Oloture’ so it could not have been Tobore Ovuorie’s life story.
In a 10-minute video released via her Instagram handle, the EbonyLife TV CEO claimed Tobore Ovuorie demanded $5 million as compensation for intellectual property theft following the film’s successful Netflix release.
While insisting that she secured the rights to the film from Premium Times Services Limited, Tobore’s former employers, the media mogul gave pointers to support her claim that the story was in fact not the Journalist’s life story as claimed.
Mo Abudu added that prior to the Netflix release of ‘Oloture’, she had maintained a cordial relationship with Tobore, offered her five percent of proceeds from the movie’s cinema run and supported her with cash gifts following the demise of her father in 2020.
