NCC raids schools, Seizes N2.5M worth of pirated books
The Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) raided four schools in Lekki, Ajah and Ikorodu, confiscating pirated books worth N2.5 million and arresting three suspects.
Why it matters: The crackdown aims to curb piracy and protect the rights of publishers while ensuring schools do not distribute pirated materials to parents and pupils.
Go deeper: Led by Deputy Director Charles Amudipe and security operatives, the operation uncovered pirated books, predominantly from Learn Africa Publishers. NCC pledged to continue such raids to enforce copyright laws.
Quote: “We warn school proprietors and all involved in selling pirated books to stop or face the law,” the NCC Lagos Director, Mrs. Lynda Alphaeus, said.
