Court Bars DSTV from Implementing Price Hike in
Nigeria
By Chuks | April 8, 2015
A Federal High Court in Nigeria has ordered
Multichoice (owners of the DSTV satellite pay TV
service) to cease from implementing the increase
in subscription rates for its subscribers.
MultiChoice and MultiChoice Africa which runs the
DStv as a satellite pay-TV service across Africa,
hiked its monthly subscriber fees in South Africa
and across the rest of the African continent with
the increase leading to vocal consumer and
subscriber outrage in especially Nigeria and
Zambia.
DStv subscribers in Zambia for instance saw their
monthly subscription fees skyrocket from April with
a massive 21%, 22%, 24% and a whopping 30% for
the various DStv packages.
In Nigeria DStv hiked its monthly subscription fee
by 20%.
It led to widespread anger and resentment against
DStv from its subscribers, several petitions and
even a press conference from DStv in Zambia to
try and calm subscribers.
Justice C.J. Aneke granted the interim order when
a group of disgruntled DSTV customers approached
the court and filed a case against Multichoice.
Osasuyi Adebayo and Oluyinka Oyeniji are
challenging MultiChoice’s DStv subscription
increases in a first “class action” case.
