Court rejects FCCPC’s fresh bid to halt airtime lending

A Federal High Court has rejected a fresh attempt by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission to stop airtime lending services run through major telecom networks. The ruling preserves an earlier interim injunction that protects airtime and data credit providers while a substantive suit on new lending rules is being heard.

NCC Warns DJs Against Unlicensed Music Use: Up to 5 Years in Jail or ₦1M Fine

NCC Issues Legal Warning to DJs Over Unauthorized Music Use The Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) has issued a strong warning to disc jockeys (DJs) across the country: stop playing copyrighted music in public without proper licensing—or face legal consequences.

He reminded all DJs that copyright owners have exclusive rights to reproduce, perform, or broadcast their work—and violating this law comes with serious penalties. Heavy Penalties for Unlicensed Public Performances According to the NCC, DJs who play music publicly without […]
