The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) have sealed a supermarket in Guzape, Abuja, after an enforcement raid sparked by consumer complaints on irregular pricing.

The agency’s Friday statement detailed violations like “differences between shelf prices and checkout prices, products displayed without price tags, expired products offered for sale, improper storage of perishable items, and suspected counterfeit products, including rice,” which were confiscated.

The site remains sealed pending investigation.

FCCPC stressed that “consumers are entitled to transparent pricing, safe products, and fair treatment at all times” and urged the public to report “suspicious, deceptive, or unfair market practices.”
