Owners of the Abuja Chinese Supermarket facing allegations of discriminatory practices responded to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC's) summons on Wednesday, April 24.
The agency announced the development via its verified X (formerly Twitter) handle.
The FCCPC said the proprietors of Royal Choice were invited to answer questions regarding the allegations. Royal Choice, located at China General Chamber of Commerce, sells Chinese foods and beverages.
In a viral video on April 21, a resident narrated how he was told the supermarket was off-limits to Nigerians.
At the weekend, several people expressed dissatisfaction over the policy which reportedly only allows patronage from Chinese customers. Subsequently, FCCPC operatives inspected the facility.
FCCPC tweeted: "Update: Owners of the Abuja Chinese Supermarket facing allegations of discriminatory practices responded to our summons today to answer questions regarding the allegations. FCCPC operatives have conducted an inspection of the facility. "We will continue to provide updates as the investigation progresses."
