Today, we have taken the war and enforcement against piracy to schools that are selling pirated books to their students<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we are not just coming out today, we have done our surveillance and investigation, so we have our intelligence reports that these schools are involved in this terrible act that is making original owners of these textbooks not to reap where they have sowed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWe all must join hands together to fight this theft of intellectual property of the people. So for the schools visited, we made some seizures, and we have equally left behind letters of invitation to our office at Ibadan, Oyo State.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She explained that in order not to run foul of the copyright laws, the schools and booksellers must always endeavour to patronise the publishers of these books while also keeping receipts of such business transactions to serve as evidence during enforcement raids.<\/p>\n<p>Oke urged the Ogun State government to brace up for the campaign against the use of pirated books across the state, saying that the information at the agency\u2019s disposal pointed to the fact that a lot of schools in the state are allegedly engaged in piracy activities.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect arrested, who simply identified himself as Akinyemi, said that he was never aware that the books were pirated copies.<\/p>\n<p>Akinyemi said: \u201cI don\u2019t know that these books are pirated copies; the suppliers always send them to me from Lagos State while I supply the school. If I am aware I wouldn\u2019t be caught doing that, I was just innocently doing my business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
