Officials of the Federal Competition and Consumer and Protection Commission (FCCPC) have sealed an Abuja-based Chinese supermarket situated at the China General Chamber of Commerce.
The FCCPC officials shut the supermarket when they stormed the premises on Monday.
Â
The commission’s officials sealed the place after interrogating Nigerian workers at the supermarket.
Â
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.
Â
The facility manager of the complex Shaibu Sanusi confirmed that Nigerians from outside the complex did not shop but Nigerians within could access it.
Â
While the supermarket remains shut, the consumer protection agency said it believed that some people are hiding inside in a bid to avoid confrontation with the agency.
