Nigeria music icon, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as Tuface, has urged Nigerians to shun pirated intellectual materials, just like adulterated drugs.
“If pirated copyright materials do not have people to buy them, they will stay on the shop shelves and the shops will eventually close.
“But if we continue to patronise them, the pirates will continue to sell,’’ Idibia told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
He also implored the government and agencies saddled with the enforcement of anti-piracy laws, to be decisive in the clamp down on culprits.
“They are criminals, just like the thieves we catch on the streets,” he said.
