As reported by Nairametrics, the FCCPC had initially imposed a N190 million fine on NBC for alleged violations of consumer protection laws. However, the tribunal dismissed the proposed settlement terms, describing them as inadequate. The Cable revealed that the tribunal viewed NBC's settlement attempt as "an effort to arrest judgment," insisting on full compliance with regulatory standards.
