Lagos Shuts Shoprite Over Breach Of Safety Law (Photos) by metronaija: 11:12am On Nov 28, 2015
The Lagos State Safety Commission has shut the multi-billion multi-national shopping outlet, Shoprite located at the Ikeja Shopping Mall, Ikeja, Lagos, for allegedly breaching safety law.

Officials of the commission were said to have stormed Shoprite on Friday afternoon and drove everyone out and sealed off the massive premises, placing a seal order at the entrance.
The seal order notice read:

“Sealed, this premises has been sealed following the breach of safety law. This seal must not be broken. For further enquiries, contact the Commission.”

On Friday night, many customers who did not know that the place had been shut were stranded outside the premises.
However, a source in the commission told reporters that the place was shut for failing to abide by the safety laws of the state.

The source said there had been complaints by members of the public about adulterated and expired products being sold in the outlet, adding that investigation was also carried out before the place was shut.
Investigation revealed that some products that were supposed to expire in one month’s time were found on the shelves of Shoprite in Ikeja.
A customer, who craved anonymity, said she once bought expired milk at Shoprite, saying that the closure of the outlet was long overdue.
There have also been complaints by others about expired products at various Shoprite outlets.
Officials of Shoprite have been asked to report at the commission’s office on Monday while the outlet remains shut throughout the weekend.

what rubbish... why not seal Nigerian markets... just trying to another inconvenience a company investing in Nigeria, why not just give them a warning and fine them... closing ensure they are not making money... if the product is expired tell them to put expiry date on it and check it before selling it.

Selling expired goods is like selling poison to the public, so you want the government to warn someone selling poison?

Dude are you for real If you can support a company selling expired consumables and substandard products to the public then you need an urgent psychiatric attention. Do you know this same shoprite import fruits and almost everything sold in their stores including BANANA!!! Do you know the damage that does to naira Abeg park well if you got nothing reasonable to say jawe. Foreign company my foot, something they can't try in their so called country and here is someone crucifying the government for taking the right step. I tire!!!!

do you have any ideas on how many people are sent into the hospital from consumption of expired products?
If this was a Nigerian investment in some far away land the news would have been : A Nigerian mega store sealed and operators deported.
