FCCPC seals Chinese Supermarket over allegations of bans on Nigerians
Nigerians from outside the complex do not shop there, but Nigerians who live there have access to it, according to Shaibu Sanusi, the manager of the complex.
Authorities from the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) have closed a Chinese supermarket located at China General Chamber of Commerce in Abuja.
The FCCPC officials shut the supermarket when they stormed the premises on Monday. The commission’s officials sealed up the place after interrogating Nigerian workers at the supermarket.
Earlier on Sunday, Nigerians had expressed outrage over a discriminatory policy implemented by the Chinese Supermarket which restricted entry exclusively to its citizens and barred Nigerians.
The facility manager of the complex Shaibu Sanusi confirmed that Nigerians from outside the complex do not shop but Nigerians within can access it.
While the supermarket remains shut, the consumer protection agency seems to believe that some people are hiding inside in a bid to avoid confrontation with the agency.
