The Federal High Court in Lagos has granted an interim order restraining the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON) from demanding $38.55 million (NGN60 billion) from Facebook Nigeria Operations Limited for an alleged violation. Justice Yellim Bogoro made the order on Dec. 12, 2024, following a motion ex parte filed by Facebook. Facebook sought two reliefs, including restraining ARCON from enforcing a Notice of Violation/Demand for Compliance and from instituting criminal proceedings. The court granted the interim order pending the determination of the Motion on Notice and adjourned the hearing to February 20, 2025. Facebook is challenging the constitutionality of the ARCON Notice on grounds of denial of fair hearing and its unlawfulness.
