They made it clear that they are taking the matter seriously and are determined to stop such copyright violations from happening in the future.

Sam George wrote, “My attention has been drawn to your post thanks to the tag. I would be raising the issue with my colleague minister responsible for overseeing television content.

“I, however wish to assure you that our government is very respectful of intellectual property rights and would ensure the protection of same. I believe Ghana and Nigeria have so much we can continue to collaborate on for our mutual benefit.”

Kafui Danku also added:

“Hi ma’am, my management and I are working on putting a stop to this. You should see definite actions in a couple of weeks,” she wrote.
