NCC confiscates N1.5b pirated materials in Lagos
The Nigerian Copyrights Commission (NCC) has confiscated pirated
materials worth N1.5billion during a raid at Apapa Wharf Terminal in
Lagos.
Its Director-General, Afam Ezekude, told journalists that pirated
goods have been seized from several states such as Kwara, Nassarawa,
Abuja and Lagos where materials running into billions of naira were
found so far this year.
He said literary works such as former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s
memoir: My Watch, foreign DVD’s and musical works were among a long list
of copyrighted products being pirated.
Ezekude said a crackdown on illegal production and distribution of
copyright work led to the arrest of eight people in Kaduna town on July
22.
NCC, he said, also confiscated over 4,700 copies of musical CDs, DVDs
and VCDs estimated at N2million in Enugu State on August 5.
Arrested suspects will be charged to court soon, the commission added.
