A three-man panel of the Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal has ordered Multichoice Nigeria to give subscribers on the DStv and GOtv platforms one month of free subscription.
The tribunal also fined
Multichoice N150 million for challenging the jurisdiction of the court, which
recently restrained it from increasing the prices of its DStv and GOtv
packages.
Justice Thomas Okosu-led panel
issued the ruling on Friday in Abuja.
In May, Multichoice Nigeria
hiked the subscription rates for its DStv and GOtv packages despite the orders
of the tribunal.
The CCPT had stopped
Multichoice Nigeria Limited from increasing its subscription tariffs and cost
of products and services scheduled to begin on May 1.
