Mr Funny aka Sabinus, a Nigerian comedian, is planning to sue Peak Milk for 1 billion Naira and Gala for 100 million Naira for utilizing his intellectual property without his permission.
The comedian disclosed in a statement made by his legal team that the two corporations utilized his image and content in advertisements and promotions for their products. All of this is taking place without his knowledge or permission.
