Human rights activist and former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani has urged the Nigeria government to “pull down” a Chinese supermarket allegedly barring Nigerians from shopping in the facility.
He made this call on Monday on his X page after reports of discriminatory practices by the supermarket made the rounds online.
According to some netizens, the management of the supermarket situated at the China General Chamber of Commerce, along Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Road in Abuja, directed security officers in the facility not to allow Nigerians in.
The development led to Nigerians demanding that the government should stop the practice and force the supermarket to admit citizens.
