ARCON's N30bn lawsuit against Meta Platforms for unapproved ads and revenue loss dismissed by Nigerian court due to jurisdiction issues.
Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON) dropped a N30bn lawsuit against Meta Platforms, owner of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, claiming unapproved ads led to Nigerian gov't revenue loss. The Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed the case due to Meta's argument that court lacked jurisdiction, as it's a foreign entity registered in the US and hasn't submitted to Nigerian court jurisdiction.
