Shehu Sani, a former federal legislator, has demanded the demolition of a Chinese store in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on the grounds that it is preventing Nigerians from making purchases there.
There had been earlier reports that the management of the shop located at the China General Chamber of Commerce on Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Road in Abuja had given security guards instructions to deny entry to Nigerians.
Concerned Nigerians responded to the development by calling on the government of that country to compel the supermarket to admit its citizens.
Former federal senator Shehu Sani stated that the facility has to be demolished in compliance with national legislation.
Shehu Sani questioned on Monday why Nigerians would not be able to access a store in a post on his official X feed.
In response to the event, Sani stated, “Any Supermarket in our Country that is not accessible to the Citizens of Our Country but to foreigners, should be forcibly opened or be pulled down in accordance with the laws of our Country”.
