The Juju star also revealed that the works
which were kept away from him all through the
30 years while the case was pending in court
are more valuable than the N500m
compensation money.
Days after juju maestro, King Sunny Ade, won a
N500m lawsuit against African Songs and its
subsidiary, Take Your Choice Stores , KSA, he's
yet to get the master tapes of his songs.
Speaking with Punch Newspaper, KSA revealed
that though he was awarded a whopping
N500million as damages, for infringing on his
works with additional cost of N3million for
prosecuting the suit, he's yet to get the master
tapes of his songs even after the court
pronouncement.
". ..The pain I went through is even shared by my
fans because there is a gap between my works
between 1966 when I started, to 1974. But now I
can bridge that gap even though the master tapes
are yet to be returned to me even after the court
pronouncement. I hope they will do that quickly.
The parties involved have no choice than to
honour the court order and I believe they are
taking their time before acting, " he said.
The Juju star also revealed that the works
which were kept away from him all through the
30 years while the case was pending in court
are more valuable than the N500m
compensation money.
'Although I won the case and believe in justice, I
am more interested in my works than the N500m
compensation. I will be happy to have the money
but my works are of more value to me ,' he
dropped.
