A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has lifted the ban imposed on Nollywood producer, Omoni Oboli’s movie, Okafor’s Law, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
Justice Ibrahim Buba lifted the order on Thursday paving the way for the public launch of the movie on Friday.
The injunction was issued by the judge last Friday following a suit by Canada-based Nigerian, Jude Idada.

The ban and a confiscation order that came with it had stopped the premiere of the film at IMAX Cinema in Lekki Lagos on 24 March.
Idada claims the movie was his intellectual property, while Oboli insists the idea and the movie was hers 100 per cent.
