British American Tobacco agrees to pay $110 million fine after Nigeria antitrust probe

BAT, known for brands like Lucky Strike and Dunhill, was also found penalizing retailers for offering fair platforms to its competitors’ products.

The antitrust agency said it levied the fine after a three-year probe into practices at the cigarette maker.

The company in its 2022 annual report mentioned the investigation, a spokesperson for British American Tobacco (Nigeria) Ltd. said in a statement to Bloomberg.
