Two heavyweights in the Nigerian entertainment scene ― veteran musician, Felix Duke, and his colleague, the President of the Performing Musician Association of Nigeria, Pretty Okafor ― are in a battle over the ownership of the Creative Industry Group.
The Creative Industry Group is a body that encompasses every creative mind in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
In a disclaimer sent to
Sunday Scoop, Duke noted that Okafor, “has flagrantly and without caution, paraded himself as the founder and owner of the Creative Industry Group” and demanded that Okafor desist from such action.
The disclaimer read in part, “Due to the continuous violation of the law and misrepresentation of facts, we have found it necessary to set the record straight. The Creative Industry Group is a registered organisation that also has its trademark name registered at the Ministry of Trade and Investment. This was done under the astute leadership of Mr Felix Duke Osagie and has since been under his well guided leadership.
