Abuja, Nigeria – Na everybody dey watch as the Federal Government don fix October 7, 2025, for court matter wey go involve the big boys of MultiChoice Nigeria. Adewunmi Ogunsanya, wey be the Chairman, and John Ugbe, the Managing Director/CEO of MultiChoice, go face dem query over some serious allegations wey fit shake ground o.
Justice James Omotosho don confirm the date after the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) lawyer, Chizenum Nsitem, ask make dem carry the case comot because of some wahala with court papers wey no reach the defendants. Omo, when dem call the case, nobody show face for court. Na wetin they call wahala no dey finish!
As dem dey prepare for this court drama, plenty top shots from MultiChoice dey join the list of defendants, including Fhulufhelo Badugela, the CEO of MultiChoice Africa Holdings, and Retiel Tromp, the Africa CFO. Even Adebusola Bello and Gozie Onumonu dey among dem wey go face the judge, but abeg, wetin fit make these top people no come court?
Make we yarn about the charge: dem dey accuse MultiChoice of no show face for FCCPC meeting wey dem call dem to attend on March 6, 2025, despite dem send official summons on February 25. Dis one na serious matter, my friend. E mean say dem fit collect serious pepper if dem no fit explain wetin dey happen.
Count six no be here. Dem dey accuse dem of blocking FCCPC investigation by no bringing documents wey dem request. Na wetin dem dey call ‘obstruction of justice’. E don dey clear say wahala don land for MultiChoice since dem increase subscription prices again.
The FCCPC don comot mouth talk say dem go face dem if dem no fit justify dis recent price hike wey don dey make customers dey vex. Na double wahala for dis pay-TV company because dem don already try waka go court to block FCCPC, but Justice Omotosho no gree sign any deal wey go help dem. E don tell dem say dem don abuse court process!
Dey first case, MultiChoice dey also face trouble over di subscription wahala wey don dey make people dey shout “abeg, where una see money to pay dis increase?” Since last year, plenty customers don complain, and e be like say the FCCPC no wan carry dey matter lightly again for dis one.
As we dey wait for October 7, we go dey follow dis matter closely like say we dey watch our favorite soap opera, because when Naija dey play, e dey always interesting. Na so e be, let’s just sit down and enjoy di show.
