The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission tribunal sitting in Abuja, on Thursday, adjourned ruling in the case between an Abuja-based lawyer, Festus Onifade, Coalition of Nigerian Consumers and pay-TV platform, MultiChoice Nigeria Limited, till Monday, July 25, 2022.

Jamiu Agoro, counsel to MultiChoice, argued that the tribunal could not hear the suit because by Section 47 of its Act, but could only listen to appeals on matters that had been decided on by the FCCPC.

Agoro argued that if the claimant felt aggrieved by the decision of MultiChoice, he should have approached the FCCPC with his grievance. However, the three-member tribunal headed by Thomas Okosun said there was an order for counsels to the parties to argue on all the applications and the originating summons at Thursday’s hearing.

Consequently, the tribunal said its ruling/decision on the applications taken on Thursday, will be contained in the judgment to be delivered in the case after argument on the originating summons that was adjourned to Monday, July 25, 2022.All rights reserved.

Hmmmmmmmmm Multichoice is just exploiting Nigerians of the hard earned money with their monthly subscriptions instead of Pay As You Go or Pay Per Views. What they cannot practice in South Africa and other countries should be stopped here in Nigeria by ALL LEGAL MEANS. Shalom

They really need to be cautioned.
