Africa’s leading entertainment company, MultiChoice has been ordered to sub-license some channels.
According to The PUNCH, the Appeal Court sitting in Port Harcourt has ordered MultiChoice to sub-license some channels to Metro-digital, pursuant to the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission’s code.
Justice Olabode Adegbehingbe in his judgment on Wednesday ruled that the lower court erred when it dismissed the suit of the Appellant (Metro-digital), when the appellant proved the existence of the dispute between itself and the first respondent (MultiChoice).
Justice Adegbehingbe also urged the second respondent (NBC) to compel Multi-choice to follow the court order within 21 days.
