On a motion by Saidu Abdullahi (APC, Niger), the House of Representatives mandated its Committee on Finance to investigate the alleged non-remittance by MultiChoice Nigeria of about ₦1.8 trillion and US$342 million in taxes, identified in a back audit by the FIRS for 2011 to 2020 after a consultant was engaged under a whistleblowing contract in 2021. The motion said court action and a later out-of-court settlement had not recovered the money. The House warned potential buyers of MultiChoice subsidiaries of the debt, and gave the committee four weeks.
