March 16, 2016 – Anti Piracy Raid Pictures: NCC Arrests Movie Pirates At Alaba Int’l Market Following Nollywood Marketer Gabosky’s Complaint, Eze Obasi & Others Nabbed
On Saturday March 12, 2016, officials of the Nigerian Copyright Commission, NCC stormed Alaba International Market in Alaba Lagos.
The commission carried the anti piracy raid after Nollywood marketer Gabriel Okoye aka Gabosky filed an official report against Eze Obasi, a popular trader at Alaba market.
Obasi was caught reproducing Lancelot Imasuen’s cinema movie Invasion 1897 on DVD.
He was thereafter arrested by the police and transferred to the Commission for further investigation.
During the operation, NCC discovered different pirated cinematography works, and duplicating machines that were used to illegally reproduce the works of several right owners.
The anti-piracy operation was conducted by the enforcement officers of the commission, and a team of policemen which led to the arrest of two suspects.

Jail the thieves. Instead of them to engage in genuine business they are pirating the work of others who put in their thoughts, sweats ,and intelligence to make money genuinely. Eze Obasi and his co-conspirators in stealing should be jailed to teach others like them a very good lesson

What of those that do it in their homes n supply their pirated copies to their customers in various markets? I think this z jst a tip of d iceberg. Thousands of alaba traders, onitcha traders n many others allover Nigeria engage in such ilegal busines. That’s an open secret. I think d authority should widen their net if they really mean business in terms of combating piracy in Naija
