Most Nigerians are struggling, in fact could be described as poor as they can't survive two months without salary. So, whenever they see cheap article they rush it, not minding its legality or otherwise.
As you read this, the Nigerian Copyright Commission, NCC, has arrested one Mr. Ubong Obot for illegally transmitting broadcast signals of Multichoice (DSTV) to an estimated 500 houses in Akwa Ibom State. Obot is said to have installed the DSTV signals to different homes for N5,000 and charged N1,000 per month as subscription fee...
Uyo Liaison Officer, NCC, Mr. Amudipe Charles, who represented the Director-General, NCC, Mr. Afam Ezekude, told journalists in Uyo on Monday that Obot was arrested with the equipment he used to transmit the cable television signals illegally.
Ezekude said,“The operatives of the NCC have raided Obot’s house over illegal transmission of cable television signals in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State.
"Illegal transmitting decoders, transmission boosters, rolls of installation wires, and other accessories worth N20m were impounded during the raid at two different locations. The locations are No. 89 Atan Road, 32 Umuahia Road, Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State."
The guy said he's just struggling to survive, but NCC say he must be charged to court.
