The Federal High Court in Abuja has remanded Emmanuel Analike, Chief Executive Officer of NetNaija Media Enterprises, at the Kuje Correctional Centre over alleged copyright infringement.
Justice Suleiman Liman ordered the remand on Thursday after hearing that a bail application had been filed on behalf of Analike, scheduled for a ruling on March 9.
Analike faces a four-count charge, including possessing, copying, distributing, and making copyrighted works available to the public without authorisation, involving both Nigerian and international movies and music.
