Music producer Michael Oluwole has filed a lawsuit against Sinach, a well-known gospel performer, alleging copyright infringement.

Oluwole, also known as Maye, filed a N5 billion lawsuit against Sinach over her 2016 hit song “Way Maker.”

Maye is requesting a declaration that he is the song’s songwriter and co-owner in the lawsuit with the number FHC/L/CS/402/2024. He is also requesting N5 billion in general damages for the cumulative infringement of his rights.

Sinach, who claimed to be the song’s only songwriter, refuted the producer’s claims while pointing out that she was already well-known throughout the world before the release of “Way Maker.”

The trial was postponed to January 29 and 30, 2025, after starting on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, in the Federal High Court in Lagos.
