Just In : FG Seals Off Popular Supermarket In Abuja As Crackdown On Hoarding, Price Fixing Begins

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has sealed Sahad Store, a well-known supermarket located in the Garki area of Abuja.

The action is coming in response to President Bola Tinubu’s recent announcement to address the underlying causes of the food crisis in the country.

The supermarket’s management has been accused of overcharging customers by deviating from the prices indicated on the shelves.

Leading the enforcement operation was the Acting Executive Vice Chairman of the FCCPC, Adamu Ahmed Abdullahi.

During a press briefing held alongside the event, Abdullahi informed journalists that the commission’s initial investigation substantiated the allegations of customer exploitation against the supermarket’s management.

Abdullahi further stated that the store will remain sealed until a thorough investigation is conducted to gather additional evidence and information.
