Nollywood Star, Femi Adebayo, has instituted a legal action against Murfy Ben International Limited, a YouTube channel, at the Federal High Court in Ibadan over the alleged copyright of his two movies.
Adebayo demanded damages and that immediate action be taken against Murfy Ben International Limited over his two movies, titled: ‘Survival of Jelili’ and ‘Kodi Ologbon Aye’.

Justice Uche Agomoh, thereafter, adjourned the case till May 19, for the continuation of trial. (NAN)
