Nigerian Government Fines Multichoice Nigeria N766,242.500 For Breaching Data Protection

Nigerian govt has imposed N766,242.500 fine on Multichoice for breaching the Nigeria Data Protection Act, after findings revealed that the company violated subscribers’ privacy rights and unlawfully transferred citizens’ personal data across national borders.


The sanction was announced by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) in a statement.
According to Babatunde Bamigboye, the Head of Legal, Enforcement and Regulations at NDPC, the fine follows an investigation that began in the second quarter of 2024 after concerns emerged over Multichoice’s data handling practices.

  2. IF this money is even paid, how would it profit ordinary Nigerians? 🤔
    It's not as if there is any Social Welfare or Benefit system there for the vulnerable people in the society.

    Won't the looting leaders and public servants make sure it goes into the 'silent' mode?
