Chinese Supermarket In Abuja Explains Why It Banned Nigerian Shoppers by gabby227(m): 9:15pm On Jun 15, 2016
The Chinese supermarket located in Gwarinpa
area of Abuja has explained the reason behind its
decision to deny Nigerians entry into the
premises , saying it is because of their alleged
nefarious activities .
The supermarket came into limelight on Tuesday
when a resident of the area took to the social
media to allege that he was denied entry into the
premises because of his skin color.
The management denied that the decision to ban
Nigerians from entering the premises was not
geared to discriminate between tribe and colour .
It, however, said Nigerians are allowed to enter
the supermarket individually and not in group.
The supermarket , which is situated at 9 Bauchi
Street, War College Estate , Gwarinpa , is a
residential building turned supermarket and
without a name , only a Chinese inscription on the
fence and a traditional Asian lantern hung on the
gate .
The gateman at the premises , who gave his
name simply as Maxwell , said for more than one
Nigerian to be allowed entry into the premises ,
they would have to be accompanied by
policemen.
Justifying the management ’ s decision, one of the
attendants, Samuel Azenda, a Nigerian , claimed
that the supermarket was robbed by Nigerians in
May during which more than N2 . 5 million was
stolen.
Azenda said until May , the gate was always open
to all and sundry.
It was learnt that the owners of the supermarket
were currently not in the country as they were
said to have been flown to China for medical
treatment as a result of the injuries sustained
during the robbery.
The supermarket attendant , who also claimed to
have been beaten during the robbery, said about
five personnel were beaten after a group of four
armed men entered the premises in May to rob .
Azenda further explained that since the
supermarket specializes mainly in Chinese foods
and items, Nigerians are not their sole
consumers but only a few that patronises Chinese
products.
He also said those people are always welcome
at the supermarket .

Information obtained from a gateman does not qualify as the company's official view on the matter. At best, it can be regarded as hearsay. All this stupid journalists/bloggers shud seek an official statement from the management and report on it.
Damn!!!!!
Can't we ever do anything right in this country?
