Federal High Court Affirms FCCPC Powers Over Air Peace Ticket Refunds

The Federal High Court Abuja dismissed Air Peace Limited's suit challenging the FCCPC's authority to investigate consumer complaints and issue summons under the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, 2018. Justice James Omotosho delivered the judgment on April 20, 2026, affirming the Commission's statutory powers to receive complaints, assess matters, and conduct investigations. The case arose from passenger complaints about unrefunded ticket fares and cancelled flights. This ruling strengthens FCCPC's position as Nigeria's primary consumer protection authority in the aviation sector.
