Fewchore Studios has denied claims that it unlawfully remade the classic Yoruba film, Ogbori Elemoso.
It insisted that the project is an original historical production developed from independent research and authorised by the Soun of Ogbomosoland.
The clarification follows allegations by veteran Nollywood actor, Chief Olalere Paimo, popularly known as “Eda Onile Ola,” who said his intellectual property was being exploited without consent.
The controversy follows Paimo’s claim that Ogbori Elemoso, a historical Yoruba film produced in the early 1980s, was being remade without his permission.
The film, which earned him national recognition and his chieftaincy title, Are Arobajo of Ogbomoso, is widely regarded as pivotal to his career and the establishment of historical drama in Nollywood.
