Nigerians are at the losing end again after MultiChoice Nigeria, a South African satellite TV company implemented its 20 percent subscription hike despite court order stopping it from taking such action pending the determination of a suit filed against it by some lawyers.
MEDIA NIGERIA recalls that a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos state had ordered DSTV to revert to its old subscription fee. The order followed a suit filed by two lawyers challenging what they termed an arbitrary increment in subscription rates imposed by MultiChoice Nigeria, operators of DStv and GOtv pay-TV platforms, on their subscribers.
Justice C.J. Aneke, in an interim order asked MultiChoice to revert to its old subscription rates pending the determination of the suit on the legality of its new tariffs.
Just as Nigerians were celebrating the court order, MultiChoice waved the order aside and has continued to charge customers based on its new subscription rate
