DSTV Ignores Court Order, Hikes Subscription Fees

April 11, 2015 by Delia Innoma 1 Comment

Multichoice Nigeria, the operator of DSTV, has ignored the court order halting its hike in subscription fees and has gone ahead to enforce the new price at all of its outlets.

When TheCable visited the Multichoice outlet in Bariga, Lagos, under the guise of purchasing a DSTV bouquet, there was a detailed information on the front desk with information about both the old and new prices.
The sales attendant confirmed the implementation of the new price, saying: “It used to be N1,500 (for the cheapest package) but now its N1,800.”

Asked why it was no longer N1,500?, she answered: “Because it has been increased.”
Asked why the company ignored the court injunction restraining the implementation of the hiked prices, she said: “They have not given us the go-ahead to revert to the old price.”

In March, DSTV announced its intention to increase its tariff by 20 per cent but was ordered by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos to halt implementation of the increase pending determination of a suit filled before it.
