A federal high court in Abuja has scheduled October 7 for the arraignment of MultiChoice Nigeria executives over alleged refusal to comply with a regulatory probe, marking another chapter in the saga of Remote Justice, according to TheCable. The charges stem from the company’s reported failure to honour summons and submit documents during an FCCPC investigation into its controversial subscription hike.
- The FCCPC filed a 7-count charge accusing MultiChoice of obstructing a lawful investigation into its price hike.
- Executives, including the chairman and CEO, failed to appear before the commission on March 6 despite a summons.
- MultiChoice had earlier sued the FCCPC to halt the probe, but the court dismissed the case in May.
- The arraignment delay was due to improper service; proceedings are now slated for October 7.
Remote Justice echoes when corporate giants sidestep regulatory engagement, hiding behind legal loopholes and delayed appearances. When oversight feels distant, accountability is left buffering, waiting for a signal that may never arrive.
