In
March, MultiChoice Nigeria Limited, owners of DStv announced a 20%
price increase for all its satellite pay TV bouquets in Nigeria.
Multichoice said the increase, which was supposed to take effect from
April 1st, was necessary for them to continue offering good quality
programming to its subscribers. But the increase is not going to happen
for now after a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos restrained the
company from increasing the tariffs.
The
restraining order was given at the court following a class action suit
filed by two Lagos-based lawyers, Osasuyi Adebayo and Oluyinka Oyeniji,
challenging the increase. The judge said there should be no increase
until the court meets on April 16th to hear the case.
