Tariff hike: Court Dismisses MultiChoice‘s Suit Seeking To Stop FCCPC’s Sanction
The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, dismissed a suit filed by MultiChoice Nigeria Limited seeking to stop the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) from taking administrative action against it.
Justice James Omotosho, in a judgment, held that the suit was an abuse of court process.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that MultiChoice, the operator of DStv and Gotv had, recently, increased the subscription rates on its packages against an invitation by FCCPC to give explanation on why the company wanted to effect a price hike.
Justice Omotosho had issued an interim order restraining the FCCPC from taking “any administrative steps” against MultiChoice Nigeria Limited following its announcement of price increases for DStv and GOtv.
The judge gave the order after the company’s lawyer, Moyosore Onigbanjo, SAN, in the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/379/2025, complained that despite ongoing litigation, the FCCPC continued to send letters, threatening further sanctions against the firm.
