Popular faces in the Nigerian movie industry have taken to the street to protest against one of the country’s leading hotels, Radisson Blu.
The protest was organised by the Audio-visual Rights Society (AVRS), held at the Isaac John, Okeja, Lagos State branch of the hotel.
Present at the protest were individuals such as Jide Kosoko, Fred Amata, Yemi Solade, Mahmood Alli-Balogun, Grace Amah, Ejike Asiegbu, Sunny McDon and others.
The entertainers protested against the hotel’s alleged refusal to pay for use of their intellectual properties in their different branches.
Speaking on what led to the protest, AVRS boss, Alli-Balogun, said the hospitality outfit had refused to pay for use of the entertainer’s intellectual properties.
He added that negotiations with the management of the hotel had met brick walls, hence they were forced to hit the street in protest.
Further, Alli-Balogun said that the hotel is owing the copyright collective society about N50 million
