The Multichoice Nigeria is believed to be the only company which acquired the right to broadcast the contents, most especially, the English Premier League which Nigerians love the most among the European Leagues.
According to the officials of the EFCC, the suspects allegedly charged their customers very low amount compared to what the Multichoice Nigeria, which is the owner of the contents is charging their own customers as monthly subscriptions.
