Liu Bei, the owner of the Abuja-based Chinese supermarket that was sealed by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) for not allowing Nigerians to shop at the facility, has denied the report that her store located in Abuja, applies discriminatory policy.
Liu Bei appeared before a tribunal at the FCCPC on Wednesday in the company of her family and estate officials, who arrived at the commission headquarters at 11 am.
According to the PUNCH, Liu Bei in a statement sent to the newspaper, denied implementing any discriminatory policy as alleged.
She stated that her store doesn't catered exclusively to a particular group, adding that she served residents, workers, and visitors from the office building, irrespective of nationality.
Confirming the reopening of the store, the estate assistant facility manager, Sanusi Shuaibu, told the Punch that the issue has been resolved and officials of the commission have unsealed the grocery store.
Sanusi said, “Yes, we went to the commission today and all the issues have been resolved and after the meeting, we left the commission and they came to unseal the supermarket.
Sanusi also confirm that Liu Bei has also returned to her shop. In his words, "The store is now open and the woman has returned to her shop.”
