Juliet Ibrahim Joins Bimbo Ademoye in Calling Out Ghanaian TV Stations Over Rampant Piracy 

Ghanaian actress, director, and film producer Juliet Ibrahim has joined the growing list of creatives speaking out against the unauthorized use of their work by Ghanaian television stations. Lending her voice to Nigerian actress Bimbo Ademoye’s ongoing campaign, Juliet publicly condemned local broadcasters for airing her films without permission.

In a candid post on her official Instagram page, Juliet shared her personal experience with what she described as “blatant piracy” by several Ghana-based TV stations. Her frustration was palpable as she detailed how some of her films, which were originally uploaded to her YouTube channel Juliet Ibrahim Studios, have been downloaded, rebroadcast, and exploited without consent.

She specifically called out Pemsan TV as one of the repeat offenders. “As an independent filmmaker, actress, director, and producer, I find it extremely disheartening to witness the blatant disregard for intellectual property rights by several TV stations operating within Ghana,” she wrote. “Over the past few months, I’ve observed that some of my films… have been pirated, rebroadcast, and exploited by unauthorized Ghanaian television stations, including Pemsan TV, without my permission or that of my team.”

Juliet revealed that despite several formal attempts by her legal and management teams—including cease-and-desist letters and direct communications—these stations have continued to air her content without authorization. “They’ve ignored our calls and refused to do the needful,” she added.

Standing in solidarity with fellow Nigerian filmmakers like Omoni Oboli and Bimbo Ademoye, Juliet emphasized that the issue goes beyond individual grievances. “This is not just a Nigerian problem—it’s an African problem. And as a Ghanaian, I am deeply ashamed that some of our local media houses are at the center of these unethical and illegal practices,” she said.

She concluded with a strong message on the impact of piracy: “Piracy is a crime. Exploiting someone’s hard-earned intellectual property is theft. It undermines years of investment, creativity, and the livelihoods of everyone involved in the production process—from actors to editors to camera operators.”
