FG seals off Abuja stores for hoarding, high-price
The Federal Government, through one of its agencies, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has sealed Sahad Store, a popular supermarket in the Garki area of Abuja.
The management of the supermarket was accused of shortchanging customers by charging prices other than the price tag on the shelves.
The development came barely twenty-four hours after President Bola Tinubu unveiled plans to tackle the food crisis plaguing the land.
The enforcement was led by Adamu Ahmed Abdullahi, the Acting Executive Vice Chairman of FCCPC.
Abdullahi told journalists on the sidelines of the event that the commission’s preliminary investigation confirmed that the management of the supermarket was short-changing customers.
He said the store would remain sealed until the completion of the further investigation.
