A private company, Cable Channels Nigeria Ltd (CCNL), has sued the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) for allegedly revoking its content aggregation licence for digital switch.
CCNL, in the suit filed before the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, is challenging the power of the NBC in revoking its licence without following due process.
In the suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/785/2018, instituted by T. Y. Musa (SAN), the Cable Channels is praying the court to set aside the purported revocation of its licence.
The plaintiff claimed that it has been operating the licence for over two years and the purported revocation by the NBC is unjustified, unknown to law and liable to be declared a nullity.
