Festus Onifade, a lawyer, has charged MultiChoice Nigeria Limited of abusing the power of its market dominance.
According to NAN, Onifade filed the lawsuit with an Abuja-based Competition and Consumer Protection (CCPC) Tribunal.
The attorney filed a counter affidavit in opposition to the MultIChoice's request disputing the tribunal's jurisdiction.
Onifade's reliefs were granted on June 20 by the three-person panel chaired by Thomas Okosun in response to an application asking for permission to modify his original summons.
The plaintiff is seeking N10 million in damages from the South African corporation that runs DStv and GOtv.
Onifade, in the amended summons filed June 20, wants an order mandating MultiChoice to adopt a pay-as-you-view model of billing.
Onifade and the Coalition of Nigeria Consumers dragged the firm before the federal government.
Earlier on April 11, the tribunal directed MultiChoice to revert to old prices and maintain the status quo of its March 30 order, pending determination of the matter.
On Thursday, the federal panel ordered the firm to file its response to Onifade’s objection. The case was adjourned until July 25.
