The National Association of Seadogs (NAS), popularly known as the Pyrates Confraternity, has threatened to take legal action against a group, the Association of Humble and Obedient Youths (AHOY) infringing its copyright.
NAS’s Capoon, Mr Abiola Owoaje, made the disclosure, at a press conference while dissociating his group from AHOY, which he accused of infringing on NAS’s copyright and also impersonating it.
Reacting to a viral video purportedly made by AHOY, members of the Board of Trustees and Tortuga-in-Council of NAS berated the group, and dissociated itself from it saying, NAS has no connection with AHOY, warned its promoters to desist from misleading the pupil with fabricated story that has no basis.
Owoaje, who spoke on behalf of NAS, said: “The said video constitutes the most impudent, brazen episode of piracy on the high seas -the real thing yet to be acknowledged in seafaring lore. It is more comical than Baba Sala in cross-dressing, more improbable than a Mr Bean cartoon, more puerile than the petulant antics of an infant denied a lick from an ice cream cone.
“As an attempt to legitimise a dubious provenance by an unsustainable link to our organisation, it is a pathetic and abject failure. The overwhelming inaccuracies in their accounts confirm that their objectives were disingenuously criminal. Many of the statements are serious, untrue and highly inflammatory. Indeed, some of them are outrightly incontrovertible malicious falsehoods.
“Some of the statements carry serious and continuing threats to our reputation and, specifically, our organisation’s collective and individual memberships’ personal integrity. All claims made by the authors of the video or that organisation that seek this linkage are, hereby, denied and rejected. There is no truth, whatsoever, in the assertions that they have sought to disseminate”.
NAS disclosed that it was already making a move to seek redress over the issue and it will make sure that no stone is left unturned to put an end to it.
