THE Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has clamped down on a popular supermarket, Sahad Store, located in the Garki area of Abuja, Nigeria capital.
This is coming in response to President Bola Tinubu’s announcement to address the underlying causes of the food crisis in the country.
Management of the supermarket was accused of overcharging customers by deviating from the prices indicated on their shelves.
Acting Executive Vice Chairman of the FCCPC, Adamu Ahmed Abdullahi, led the enforcement operation on Friday.
Abdullahi informed journalists at a press briefing that the commission’s initial investigation has substantiated the allegations of customers’ exploitation against the supermarket’s management.
Abdullahi further stated that the store would remain sealed until a thorough investigation is conducted for additional evidence against the supermarket.
