In July 2025, Nigeria’s Data Protection Commission (NDPC) slapped a ₦766 million (≈ US $500,000) fine on MultiChoice Nigeria for breaching the Nigeria Data Protection Act. The investigation, launched in Q2 2024, revealed that the company had improperly processed personal details of both subscribers and non‑subscribers and transferred data abroad without lawful permission. NDPC’s head of legal, Babatunde Bamigboye, described the practices as “patently intrusive, unfair, unnecessary and disproportionate,” violating the constitutional right to privacy. Earlier remedial directives were ignored by MultiChoice, prompting the enforcement action. In addition to the fine, regulators will audit every platform the company uses to collect Nigerian citizens’ data.
This move signals that Nigeria is stepping up enforcement of data sovereignty. The outcome for MultiChoice now depends on whether it cooperates, pays the fine, or appeals.
