Abuja based photographer, Emmanuel Okolo, who is the plaintiff in the suit alongside his studio, Papilonmexy filed suit against the defendants.
At the resumed hearing of the case yesterday, neither TuFace nor his wife was represented in court. Anifite who is the second defendant was however represented by his counsel, J.O Uttute.
Meanwhile, a mild drama ensued when the judge openly admonished Uttute after the latter claimed that he had filed his defence when he had not done so.
The judge warned him not to come to this court again if he was not prepared for the case. “You told me that you have filed your response, but looking through here, there is nothing to that effect. And you are even smiling. Do you think you are here to joke? Never come to this court again if you are not prepared. You don’t even know when the case was filed and you are not prepared for it,” said the judge.
Also, the plaintiff’s counsel, Habeeb Oredola expressed worry over the defendants’ inability to appear before the court or be represented by a counsel after they were served with the writs of summon.
In the writ of summon, Okolo and his studio claimed they were contracted by TuFace’s wife through a third party, identified as Ms Chineze Anyaene to take photo shots at the traditional wedding held in Eket, Akwa Ibom state in March, 2013.
The plaintiff said, he was reluctant at the beginning since the offer was coming through a third party, but later accepted after he was convinced that the offer was actually with the blessing of the first defendant.
Annie Idibia was said to have later contacted the photographer after the wedding and demanded for the printing of 10 of the high resolution pictures taken. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteTufac why are u disgracine ur self?
ReplyDeleteWhat's disgrace. The photographer is looking for means to extort money from 2face because he is a celeb. How much was the contract for photographing worth that he will be asking for #120million we have started to copy the American now. That was among the things that killed Michael Jackson and other celeb in the State.
DeleteNawawo! Photographer sef wan follow you chop your money. But truly, I am surprised here. If there is a contract there is an offer and acceptance. Before such, what we call negociation must have taken place and the parties involved must both know the consideration involved. If non of these criterias are met why do we even have a court hearing in the first place?
ReplyDeleteTwo things are obvious from this report that Tuface never enterred into any contractual agreement with the photographer and the phographer never knew who he is working for.
Imagine the kinda nigerian court of Law is hearing to and fuck the photographer...mtchewwww
