Nollywood actress, Omoni Oboli, has eulogised her father, Chief Matthew Ukey, two years after his death.

The 41-year-old movie star posted a teary tribute to him on Instagram on Sunday.

In her post, she wrote that she almost called him to tell him that she had won the case brought against her over her movie, Okafor’s Law, before remembering he had passed on.

She added that she was continually trying to make him proud.

Earlier in May, Omoni Oboli announced that a court had ruled in her favour after an extensive civil case over her movie, Okafor’s Law.

Canada based writer, Jude Idada, had accused Omoni Oboli of stealing his idea for the movie in September 2016.

In March 2017, a Federal High Court in Lagos on Thursday lifted an interim order which restrained the Omoni Oboli from premiering and releasing the movie.

However, the case remained in court, with hearing of the substantive matter commencing in April 2017.
