FG seals off Sahad Stores in Abuja over hoarding, high prices

Popular Abuja supermarket, Sahad Stores, has been sealed by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) on Friday.

This follows allegations of shortchanging customers by charging prices other than the prices displayed on the shelves.

This comes 24 hours after President Bola Tinubu spoke about his plans to tackle the current food crisis.

The enforcement was led by FCCPC Acting Executive Vice Chairman, Adamu Ahmed Abdullahi.

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.
