Multi Choice Nigeria had announced this increase on 22, March 2022 scheduled to start on April 1. This increment drew attention from Nigerians and the Senate. Also reacted was Competition and Consumer Protection (CCP) Tribunal sitting in Abuja which restrained Multi-Choice Nigeria Limited from increasing its tariffs and cost of products and services.

Thomas Okosun who presided over the three-member tribunal, gave the order following an ex-parte motion moved by Festus Onifade, a legal practitioner, on behalf of himself and the Coalition of Nigeria Consumers.

The Nigerian Senate had earlier in the week ordered an investigation into the justification behind the recent increase in tariff by Multichoice.

The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, gave the directive during plenary on Wednesday following a debate on the hike in tariff and the demand by Nigerians seeking pay-per-view subscription model.
