Financial institution Keystone Bank is facing a major lawsuit.

And this is as a result of allegations of intellectual property theft slammed on Keystone Bank and its agency, Insight Communications.

Details of the grave allegations made by singer Wizzy Igbafen and shared on her facebook page reads…

“With deep regret, I am making it public the case of how ‘Keystone Bank’ and their agency ‘Insight Communications’ have infringed on my copyright with regards to my song ‘So Amazing ft Cobhams’ @cobhamsasuquo which is used for Keystone Bank @keystonebankng campaign centered around ‘We Grow Together” distributed as advert / Commercial aired on CNN, Ebony Life TV, TVC and also as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram commercial (using my song – instrumental and my vocals) all without my consent.

My legal team wrote letters to both of the listed organizations
-‘Keystone Bank’ and ‘Insight Communications’ in the past three weeks
and still, we were ignored and not responded to in any form. My song ‘So Amazing’ which is heavily invested on and released as audio and video, an award winning song at the 10th anniversary edition of the South South Music awards is now use as a profit making commercial song without my consent.

Considering the way my copyright is being infringed on and yet I am ignored, no creative person deserves to be treated this way.

If this persists, my lawyers will go to seek redress at the court of law.”

The singer backed up her allegations with videos of her song and the Keystone Bank’s commercial in question.
