Court adjourns case against BBC by Kano singer

Justice N M Yunusa of the Federal High Court in Kano State has adjourned the case between a Kano State-based Musician, Abdul Kamal, and the Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) to February 12, 2024.

Before then, BBC faulted the claim of N120m damage by Abdul Kamal who sued the media firm for allegedly using his soundtrack without his consent.

The BBC, in a counter affidavit presented to the court, argued that since the plaintiff quantified his claim in monetary terms, there was no need for the court to give the order of interim application to stop the use of the soundtrack.

City & Crime had reported that Abdul Kamal sued the BBC Hausa Service for using his sound track in their popular programme, “Daga Bakin Mai Ita”, without his consent.
