The Nigerian Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal has granted a request from lawyer Festus Onifade to withdraw his case against MultiChoice Nigeria concerning a price hike of GOTV and DSTV subscriptions.
Initially, the tribunal had fined MultiChoice 150 million naira and mandated a one-month free subscription for violating interim orders, but MultiChoice appealed and filed for a stay of proceedings.
The tribunal rescheduled the case to November, but Onifade chose to withdraw the suit, which the tribunal approved without awarding costs.
