Lights, Camera, Lawsuit: Afolayan Takes Legal Action Over Ijogbon Credit Snub by Victoreke55(m): 2:53pm On Oct 26, 2023
A contractual dispute has erupted in the film industry as award-winning Art Director, Tunji Afolayan, alleges that KAP Productions Limited has breached their agreement in the release of the movie "Ijogbon." The dispute has prompted legal action from Mr. Afolayan, with the law firm Osifowora and Co Legal Practitioners representing his interests.

The controversy centers around a contract that was entered into on January 11th, 2023, between Tunji Afolayan and KAP Productions Limited. The terms of the agreement were meticulously defined, outlining Mr. Afolayan's role as an Art Director and the associated payment details. However, despite the clarity of the agreement, Mr. Afolayan claims that he was never provided with a copy of the contract.

Trouble began when "Ijogbon" was released on Netflix. To his dismay, Tunji Afolayan's name and his crucial role in the movie were noticeably absent from the credits. Instead, Kunle Afolayan was mistakenly attributed as the Art Director, while Mr. Tunji Afolayan's role was erroneously listed as "Set Designer."

In light of these apparent discrepancies, Mr. Tunji Afolayan contends that KAP Productions Limited has violated the terms of their contractual agreement. To address this alleged breach, Osifowora and Co Legal Practitioners, on behalf of Mr. Afolayan, have taken legal action to seek a fair and just resolution. Potential remedies could involve credit corrections, compensation, and other actions deemed appropriate under the law.

Mr. Tunji Afolayan, a respected figure within the film industry and an AMVCA winner, emphasizes the importance of upholding contractual agreements and ensuring that justice is served. He is committed to a lawful and equitable resolution of the matter.

The situation is ongoing, and all involved parties are encouraged to cooperate and engage in an open and transparent process to resolve the contractual dispute in a fair and satisfactory manner. The outcome of this case may set a precedent for the film industry's adherence to contractual obligations and the equitable treatment of its professionals.
