The workers who are mostly Nigerians stated this on Monday when the officials of the Federal Competition and Consumer and Protection Commission (FCCPC) stormed the supermarket.
The facility workers at an Abuja-based Chinese supermarket situated at the China General Chamber of Commerce said the owner of the supermarket together with her family has fled from the premises.
The workers who are mostly Nigerians stated this on Monday when the officials of the Federal Competition and Consumer and Protection Commission (FCCPC) stormed the supermarket.
The workers said that the owner of the supermarket, a Chinese lady, Cindy Liu Bei, fled on Monday morning with her family as confirmed on the Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) camera.
SaharaReporters earlier reported that FCCPC officials shut the supermarket over perceived discrimination against Nigerians.
Earlier on Sunday, Nigerians had expressed outrage over a discriminatory policy implemented by the Chinese Supermarket which restricted entry exclusively to its citizens and barred Nigerians.
The facility manager of the complex Shaibu Sanusi confirmed that Nigerians from outside the complex did not shop but Nigerians within could access it.
While the supermarket remains shut, the consumer protection agency seems to believe that some people are hiding inside in a bid to avoid confrontation with the agency.
