FG Shuts Abuja Chinese Supermarket Over Discrimination Against Nationals

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.

 

The commission’s officials sealed 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 did not shop but Nigerians within could access it.

 

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.
