The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has sealed the Chinese supermarket located within the China General Chamber of Commerce in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Officials of the FCCPC stormed the premises and shut the supermarket on Monday.
The commission’s officials sealed up the place following the interrogation of Nigerian workers at the supermarket.
Recall that Nigerians had expressed outrage over a discriminatory policy implemented by the Chinese Supermarket for barring Nigerians.
The supermarket only granted exclusive entry to Chinese nationals in the country.
According to the facility manager of the complex, Shaibu Sanusi, Nigerians from outside the complex do not shop but Nigerians within can access it.
This was as facilities workers at the store disclosed that the owner of the supermarket had fled the premises.
The workers, who were largely Nigerians, disclosed that the owner of the supermarket had fled when the officials of the Commission stormed the supermarket on Monday.
The workers said that the owner of the supermarket, a Chinese lady, Cindy Liu Bei, fled on Monday at 8:26 am with her family as confirmed on the Closed-Circuit Television camera.
The FCCPC officials subsequently shut down the supermarket.
