According to RMD’s publicist, this unauthorized use of the image has been ongoing and has had the effect of portraying to unsuspecting customers that Jumia enjoys the patronage of or endorsement of RMD.
RMD has since instructed his lawyer, Mena Ajakpovi of Messrs. Abraham & Co. to engage Jumia and seek redress at the law court if they are defiant. Jumia’s response has definitely been defiant and unapologetic.
They admitted that they had taken the images from the actor’s page but that it was not an infringement of his copyright since the image was on a public Instagram platform. This is even though they are using the image to promote their online fashion trade on their website page! They offered to take the page down but have shown neither remorse nor offered any conciliatory compensation!

@samuel:
RMD is a brand, JUMIA is also a brand. In business, infringement means
violation of the terms of an agreement, encroachment, trespass, or
disregard of others' rights, such as invasion of an exclusive right of

This
is strictly business, pedigree has nothing to do with it. Time and
conditions always attached to such agreement, once one of the party
break that "time and conditions" then the other party can be sue.
