Popular gospel musician, Sinach has been sued 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, and demanded 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.

Afrobeats singer Davido has disclosed that he has been with his wife, Chioma, for 12 years.

The singer said: “Shout out to my wife and the mother of my beautiful twins, Mrs chioma Adeleke. She has been my girl for almost 12 years. I love you and I got you for life.”

The Nigeria Police Force has moved musician, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington “Akpi” from Owerri, Imo State, to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, in a plot to inflict more punishment on the musician.

Ibom Focus learnt on Wednesday that Darlington is being moved to the police Force Intelligence Department (FID) from Owerri.

Top sources also revealed that Dasuki Galadanchi, the Deputy Inspector-General (DIG) in charge of FID had personally taken over Darlington’s case files from the police unit that arrested him before.

“Speed Darlington is being moved to Abuja. He is being prosecuted by DIG Dasuki Galadanchi who said his (Darlington) punishment was too short before they granted him bail the last time,” a top source revealed.

“The DIG personally took over his case files from the police department that arrested him and initially detained him in Abuja,” another competent source corroborated.

It was earlier reported that human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, confirmed that Nigerian music star, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, was behind the Tuesday’s police harassment and arrest of his client, Darlington “Akpi” in Owerri, Imo State.

Adeyanju, who made the confirmation in a post on his social media handle, had berated Burna Boy for having been producing songs against oppression but suddenly turning into an oppressor of Speed Darlington.

The lawyer had written, “Burna Boy behind harassment of Speed Darlington by the police. This is someone who has been singing against oppression and forming junior Fela now oppressing Akpi.”

Ibom Focus earlier reported that Adeyanju had confirmed Speed Darlington’s arrest in a statement posted on his official Facebook page.

Adeyanju wrote, “Our client Speed Darlington a.k.a AKPI has been arrested by the Nigerian police in Owerri at his show upon return to Nigeria.”

He added that Darlington’s arrest occurred during his return to Nigeria for a show.

However, the reasons for the Darlington arrest remained unclear.

Meanwhile, Ibom Focus recently reported that the Nigerian police detained Darlington over alleged cyberstalking of Burna Boy.

Ibom Focus had reported that Speed Darlington was arrested and detained at the notorious centre of the IGP’s Intelligence Response Team in the Guzape area of Abuja.

The musician was then visited by Adeyanju who also told SaharaReporters that he had seen a petition written against Darlington by afrobeat musician, Burna Boy.

Darlington had been arrested in Lagos and tossed around many police formations in Lagos before he was taken to detention in Abuja by the IRT team who accused him of cyberstalking Burna Boy.

Adeyanju had noted that there was nothing to the petition to warrant Darlington’s arrest.

“I have met Speed Darlington” and he’s in good spirits, we are working to get him released on bail as soon as possible,” Adeyanju had added.

The police ACP investigating the case had told Adeyanju that the police could not release a copy of the petition to him but he let the lawyer read and digest the content.
