Popular gospel musician, Osinachi Kalu, known professionally as Sinach has been dragged to the court by music producer, Michael Oluwole over alleged copyright infringement.
Oluwole, better known as Maye, sued Sinach for N5 billion over ‘Way Maker’, her 2016 hit song.
In the suit numbered FHC/L/CS/402/2024, Maye is seeking a declaration that he is an author and co-owner of the song, demanding general damages of N5 billion for cumulative infringement of his rights.
While denying the producer’s claims, Sinach, who claimed the sole authorship of the song, noted that she has achieved global recognition before ‘Way Maker’ song.
The trial, which began at the Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday November 27, 2024, was adjourned until January 29 and 30, 2025.
