Photographer Sues Tuface, Annie over Wedding Pictures
Abuja-based photographer, Emmanuel Okolo alongside his studio, Papilonmexy have filed a suit against pop musician, TuFace, his wife, Annie Idibia and their manager, Anthonio Anifite over photographs allegedly taken at the traditional wedding of the musician and his wife in Akwa Ibom State.
Okolo is asking for six reliefs, two of which include N100 million in general damages and N20million in exemplary damages, according to the Vanguard.
In the writ of summons, Okolo and his studio claimed they were contracted by TuFace’s wife through a third party, identified as Ms Chineze Anyaene to take photo shots at the traditional wedding held in Eket, Akwa Ibom State on March, 2013.
The plaintiff said, he was reluctant at the beginning since the offer was coming through a third party, but later accepted after he was convinced that the offer was actually with the blessing of the first defendant.
Annie Idibia was said to have later contacted the photographer after the wedding and demanded for the printing of 10 of the high resolution pictures taken.
At the resumed hearing of the case Friday, neither TuFace nor his wife was represented in court. Justice Mohammed Idris of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has fixed October 16, 2013 for the commencement of trial.
