Multichoice Nigeria, a popular Pay TV provider, has proceeded with the upward adjustment of its prices for DStv and GOtv subscribers, despite a recent court ruling prohibiting the company from raising rates.
On April 24, the company announced that it would increase its price for its DStv and GOtv cable services, beginning from the first of May.
Meanwhile, a competition and consumer protection tribunal (CCPT) in Abuja ruled that the firm should not increase its prices as scheduled for May 1.
A three-member tribunal led by Saratu Shafii gave the interim order following an ex-parte motion moved by Ejiro Awaritoma, counsel to Festus Onifade, the applicant.
Despite the court ruling, a check by newsmen revealed that the firm has proceeded with the tariff increase as earlier proposed.
On its official website, the new prices are now being displayed and implemented.
