The Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal (CCPT) has fined Multichoice Nigeria, the owners of DSTV and GoTv, N150 million for disobeying its order.

Persecondnews recalls that the court had restrained the pay-TV company from increasing its monthly subscription pending the determination of the suit before it.

In a ruling on Friday in Abuja, the tribunal also ordered the pay-TV company to provide its Nigerian customers with a one-month free subscription to its DStv and GOtv packages.

The tribunal, led by Justice Thomas Okosu, imposed a N150 million fine on Multichoice.
