Court Orders Restraining Order Against MultiChoice to be Publicly Displayed
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

A Nigerian court has taken a strong stance against MultiChoice Nigeria Limited’s recent attempt to raise DStv and Gotv subscription fees. The Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal in Abuja has ordered that a court order restraining the company from implementing the price increase be displayed prominently.

Why it Matters

This decision follows an earlier ruling by the tribunal on April 29, 2024, which temporarily halted the planned tariff hike. The order was issued in response to a complaint filed by an Abuja lawyer, Festus Onifade, who challenged the price increase as unfair to consumers.

Despite the court order, attempts to serve MultiChoice with the documents proved unsuccessful. The bailiff reported that company officials in Abuja refused to accept the legal papers, prompting further action from the tribunal.

What They Are Saying

To ensure MultiChoice is effectively informed of the court’s decision, the tribunal authorized a “substituted service” approach. This means the restraining order will be displayed at MultiChoice’s headquarters and any known branch offices across Nigeria. Additionally, the order will be sent to the company’s email addresses, social media handles, and any other publicly known communication channels.

Bottom Line

This unprecedented move by the court emphasizes the seriousness of the situation and aims to guarantee that MultiChoice is fully aware of the legal prohibition against raising its subscription fees. The order will remain in place until the court holds a full hearing on the matter.
