Chamber of Commerce in Abuja.
The development followed allegations of discriminatory
practices against Nigerians.
The FCCPC officials shut the supermarket when they stormed
the premises on Monday.
The commission’s officials sealed up the place after
interrogating Nigerian workers at the supermarket.
This was as facilities workers at the store disclosed that
the owner of the supermarket had fled the premises.

officials of the Commission stormed the supermarket.
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.
