Pirated Copies Of Obasanjo's Book Sells At Cheaper Rate In Lagos Traffic

Pirated copies of former president Olusegun Obasanjo's controversial autobiography titled "My Watch" have flooded the streets of Lagos, selling for as low as N7,000.

According to reports, the pirated books flooded the streets of Lagos, after a federal high court judge, Justice Valentine Ashi ordered that security agents should confiscate all copies of the book.

The original book which comes in three volumes cost about N15,000 while the pirated copy which has two volumes cost less than half the price and comes in a white cover as opposed to the original yellow and brown colour. 

Reporters who spoke to hawkers selling the book in the Maryland and Opebi areas of Lagos, learnt that the original book had become scarce.

The book centers on the life of Obasanjo in the military, as a democratic president and after the office.
