Tribunal Stops Multichoice From Increasing Tariffs by Kwanza: 12:43pm On Mar 31, 2022
A Competition and Consumer Protection (CCP) Tribunal sitting in Abuja has restrained Multichoice Nigeria Limited from increasing its tariffs and cost of products and services scheduled to begin on April 1.

The three-member tribunal presided over by Thomas Okosun, gave the order following an ex-parte motion moved by Festus Onifade, a legal practitioner, on behalf of himself and the Coalition of Nigeria Consumers.

Other members of the tribunal include Sola Salako Ajulo and Ibrahim EL-Yakubu.

NAN reports that in the suit marked: CCPT/OP/1/2022, Multi-Choice Nigeria Limited and Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) are 1st and 2nd respondents respectively.

The motion ex-parte filed by the applicants on March 29 was brought pursuant to Section 39 (1) & (2) of FCCPC Act 2018; Order 26, Rule 5 (2), (3) & 26 Rule 6 (1) & (2) Federal High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules 2019 and Section 47(a), (b), (c),(d), of Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018.

The applicants had prayed for “an order of interim injunction restraining the 1st defendants/respondents, either by itself, agents, representatives, officers or privies, howsoever described, from carrying out the impending increase in tariffs and cost of its products and services intended to take effect from 1st April 2022, until the hearing and determination of the motion on notice already filed before this tribunal.

“An order of the Honourable Tribunal mandating the 1st defendant/respondents to maintain status quo pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.

“And for such further order or other orders as this Honourable Tribunal may deem fit to make in the circumstance.”

In the ruling, the tribunal ordered Multi-Choice Nigeria Limited to stop the planned hike in tariffs and cost of its products and services pending the hearing and determination of the motion.

“The 1st defendant/respondent is hereby restrained, either by itself, agents, representatives, officers or privies, howsoever described, from carrying out the impending increase in tariffs and cost of its products and services intended to take effect from 1st April, 2022 until the hearing and determination of the motion on notice already filed before this Honourable Tribunal.

“The 1st defendant/respondent is hereby mandated to maintain status quo pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice,” the tribunal ruled.

The matter was adjourned until April 11 for the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.

“All parties in this suit are to appear before this Honourable Tribunal on the 11th day of April, 2022,” it ruled.

Has the tribunal considered the incessant rising cost of doing business in Nigeria these days. Most business are finding very difficult staying afloat.

I no go better for APC and their evil supporters.

Very good... That's not even enough.. They should force them to make it "pay per view".. Nonsense n ingredient.

U will subscribe 10k in a month.. In a day u will not watch up to 3 hours. Before u know it month don end. On a norm if that 10k is pay as u view trust me some people subscriptions go dey reach 6 months. Because 60% only enjoy it on weekends, mostly to watch EPL, SERIA A, LALIGA and champions league. This people just dey use our epileptic power supply dey deal with us.

Na today...if multichoice circulates $100m in bribery,they will still turn the monumentum in favour of multichoice.

Over the years multichoice have used bribing as a means of bringing down every cable tv that ever launched and all have not been able to operate for up to a year,apart from startimes,because it belongs to the government.

Failed state!!!

Why are dey scared of implementing the pay per view options?
Always looking for a way to milk the average struggling Nigerians of their hard earn money.
Another form of fraud in disguise.

So this same tribunal did not see when Electricity tariff was recently increased. Also they did not see when the airlines increased airfare and also blind to the soaring prices of cooking gas and diesel
