Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Now Muzik Ltd, Efe Omorogbe was on Thursday, April 5th brought before an Igbosere magistrates’ court, Lagos, for allegedly forging the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) letterhead.
Omorogbe, 47, is the manager of the music icon, 2Face Idibia.
According to the Cable he was arraigned alongside Joel Ajayi, 61, before O O Oshin by the zone II police command headquarters, Obalende.
Ajayi is listed on the COSON website as a member of the board of directors and “the managing director, Gospel Choral Records Ltd.”

Friday Mameh, the prosecutor, told the court that Omorogbe, Ajayi, and others still at large committed the offenses on December 7, 2017, at 41, Oluwaleyimu St., Ikeja.
Mameh said the accused allegedly forged COSON’s letterhead “with the intent that it may be acted upon or used as genuine to the prejudice of COSON.
“The accused also conducted themselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace by storming the meeting venue of Chief Tony Okoroji with thugs and disrupted the proceedings”.
He told the court that the offenses contravened sections 168 (d), 363 and 376 of the criminal law of Lagos state, 2015.
Omorogbe and Ajayi, however, pleaded not guilty.
Counsel to the accused persons, S Ehiwelele and Chibuzor Nwankobi, urged the court to admit them to bails on liberal terms.
Ruling on their bail applications, Magistrate Oshin granted each accused person N250,000 bail with one surety each in like sum.
