Contempt of court proceedings started against MultiChoice Nigeria's managing director John Ugbe.
MultiChoice Nigeria has allegedly refused to obey the urgent court interdict granted last week by Nigeria's Federal High Court in Lagos to not hike DStv fees with 20% from April.
MultiChoice Nigeria's PR manager, Caroline Oghuma is also in trouble and is also facing committal proceedings - the court was asked that both John Ugbe and Caroline Oghuma give written undertakings that they will obey the court interdict. The case has been adjourned to 5 May.
The Daily Independent in Nigeria reports that John Ugbe and Caroline Oghuma could be going to prison for disobeying the court's order.
The New Telegraph reports that MultiChoice Nigeria says it received the injunction after it already raised DStv subscriptions. MultiChoice Nigeria's lawyer also told The Nation DStv was not bound to obey the interdict court order.
