BREAKING: Multichoice Nigeria challenges tribunal’s jurisdiction to restrain DSTV,GOTV price hike, others

A prominent Pay-TV operator, Multichoice Nigeria, has challenged the jurisdiction of the Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal (CCPT) sitting in Abuja which recently restrained it from increasing in the prices of its DStv and GOtv packages.

Multichoice’s lawyer, M.J. Onibanjo (SAN) told the CCPT via his application on Tuesday that it should decline jurisdiction on the suit filed by Festus Onifade because such a price dispute case had been decided before in favor of his client.

In his motion on notice seen by Nairametrics, Onibanjo argued that while Onifade is seeking to regulate prices of the services provided by Multichoice, the Tribunal, not being the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria lacks the jurisdiction to regulate prices of goods and services under the FCCPA 2018.
