FCCPC Enforcement Team Seals Abuja Supermarket Over Pricing Irregularities, Expired and Suspected Counterfeit Products
The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has carried out an enforcement operation at a supermarket in Guzape, Abuja, following consumer complaints about irregular pricing practices.
During the inspection, the Commission identified several potential consumer protection violations, including 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.
Following the findings, the supermarket was sealed pending further regulatory action.
The FCCPC reminds businesses that consumers are entitled to transparent pricing, safe products, and fair treatment at all times.
The Commission will take appropriate regulatory action after a full review of the findings.
Members of the public are encouraged to continue reporting suspicious, deceptive, or unfair market practices.
