FCCPC seals 4U supermarket in Abuja amid allegations of unfair practices

by Arabella Zikora

The officials of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), are currently evacuating some bags of rice filled with weevils from all branches of 4U supermarket in Abuja.

The affected products, 5kg and 10kg of Caprice and stallion rice which were produced in August 2022 and October 2022 respectively were expected to expire in 2027 and the price displayed on the weevil-laden 10kg bag of rice was N19,000

Acting Executive Vice Chairman FCCPC, Adamu Ahmed Abdullahi who led the raid on Thursday, wondered why Caprice and stallion rice were still stocked and being sold in the supermarket years after the companies had stopped production.

Frowning at the “obnoxious practices” being undertaken by the management of the supermarket, the FCCPC noted that the integrity of products being sold at 4U supermarket could no longer be guaranteed thereby exposing consumers to unsafe products.

Following deceptive actions by the management of the supermarket to hide the affected rice at its headquarters, the FCCPC is currently activating the process of sealing up branches of 4U supermarket for duping and misleading Nigerians.
