A former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani has called for the demolition of a Chinese supermarket located in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, for allegedly barring Nigerians from shopping in the facility.

Reports had earlier emerged alleging that 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 has triggered reactions from concerned Nigerians who demanded that the Nigerian government should force the supermarket to admit citizens

On his part, Shehu Sani, a former federal lawmaker said the facility should be pulled down in accordance with the laws of the Country.

In a post on his official X handle on Monday, Shehu Sani wondered why a supermarket in Nigeria would not be accessible to the citizens.

Reacting to the development, Sani said, “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”.
