About this listen

 The Federal Government, through the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, has imposed a fine of N766million on Multichoice Nigeria for breaching the Nigeria Data Protection Act, citing violations of subscribers’ privacy rights and the unlawful transfer of citizens’ personal data across borders. The Head of Legal, Enforcement and Regulations at NDPC, Babatunde Bamigboye, says the sanction followed an investigation launched in the second quarter of 2024 after allegations surfaced regarding the company’s intrusive data processing activities. He says the probe uncovered multiple breaches, including the unauthorised processing of personal data belonging to both subscribers and individuals who were not Multichoice customers.
